USALAMA
Usalama, Inc. · Wyoming C Corporation
Usalama gives children a simple way to alert their trusted community before danger escalates.
With one Hold for Help action, a child can notify approved adults and share the best available guide to their situation — such as a location pin, photo, or call option when available.

Meaning and mission
Usalama is a Swahili word commonly translated as safety, security, peace, protection, or wellbeing. The name fits the product promise: a trusted safety layer that helps a child reach approved adults quickly when something feels wrong.
Families today are balancing independence, digital risk, travel, school activities, sports, community events, and the reality that a child may not have time to explain what is happening. Usalama is built around one clear action, trusted responders, and emergency context only when help is requested.
The concept is rooted in a simple community principle: children should not have to face danger alone. Instead of building a surveillance product, Usalama focuses on a parent-approved Safety Circle and a child-activated alert workflow.
The need for child safety
In a stressful moment, calling one adult, explaining location, sending photos, and deciding who else to contact can be too much for a child. Usalama’s MVP is designed to reduce that burden: hold one button, alert approved adults, share best-available context, and let trusted adults coordinate a response.
Simple emergency workflow
A child holds the help button when they feel they may be in danger.
Parent-approved trusted adults receive an alert.
Usalama may share a pin, photo, or call option to help guide responders.
Parents and trusted contacts get a clear response workflow.
Usalama does not continuously track children. Location is only used during an active help event when available.
For parents and guardians
We are building Usalama Family first — a parent-approved safety alert app for children under 18. We are inviting parents, guardians, youth leaders, coaches, churches, camps, and homeschool groups to join the early list and help shape the pilot.

Usalama is preparing its first MVP around a simple child safety workflow: one help action, a trusted Safety Circle, emergency context when available, and no continuous tracking. We are building the child version first, then expanding the same trusted-community alert engine into Care, Personal, and Teams.
Built around trust
Usalama is not designed around watching children all day. The core alert activates only when help is requested.
Only approved trusted people can receive alerts.
The goal is to collect only what is needed to send the alert and guide trusted adults.
Usalama is in development and is not a replacement for 911, emergency services, law enforcement, or direct adult supervision.
