USALAMA
Usalama, Inc. · Wyoming C Corporation
Usalama helps children alert trusted adults faster during high-stress situations using a simple activation process and a parent-approved Safety Circle.
The pilot proves one thing: a child or vulnerable person can trigger a trusted response from a phone without navigating through the device during an emergency. Usalama is beta software, not a guaranteed emergency service.

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, activities, travel, 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, and deciding who else to contact can be too much for a child. Usalama’s pilot is designed to reduce that burden: activate help, notify the Safety Circle, capture time and location when available, and let trusted adults coordinate a response.
Child → Safety Circle → Response
A child holds the help button when they feel they may be in danger.
Parent-approved trusted adults receive the emergency alert.
Responders see the child name, time, map, call action, and acknowledgement path.
If no one responds, the pilot escalates to additional trusted contacts.
Usalama does not continuously track children. Location is only used during an active help event when available.
For parents and guardians
We are building a narrow Usalama pilot first: Parent, Child, Admin, Safety Circle, emergency alert, acknowledgement, escalation, safe check-in, and event history. Nothing else belongs in the pilot unless it strengthens that response loop.
Join Pilot ProgramFor investors, advisors, and strategic partners
Usalama is preparing its first pilot around one business assumption: parents trust the Safety Circle model and trusted people will respond when an alert occurs. The technology matters, but the response network is the foundation.
Built around trust
Usalama is not designed around watching children all day. The core alert activates only when help is requested.
The core product is not GPS tracking. It is immediate trusted human response.
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.
Pilot safety boundary
Usalama is being prepared as a controlled pilot. Before any real parent-child use, the product must include consent, privacy, verification, deletion/export paths, and abuse-prevention controls.
Parent or guardian consent is required before child data is collected or a child profile is used in a real pilot.
Collect only what is needed for alert routing, emergency context, event logs, support, and compliance.
Safety Circle members must verify and accept their role before receiving live alerts.
Usalama must not be used for stalking, coercive control, custody abuse, or ex-partner monitoring.
Pilot users must understand this is beta software and does not guarantee delivery, response, rescue, or emergency-service action.
Parents may request access, export, or deletion by emailing darryl@usalama.com.
