Safe Guélé is an innovative solution designed to enhance child safety in Guinea, addressing serious threats such as kidnappings and assaults. In 2023, over 200 children were victims of sexual violence, and 43 kidnappings were reported, highlighting the urgent need for protection. Safe Guélé provides parents with real-time location tracking and instant alerts, ensuring continuous monitoring of their children.

The system features a smartwatch for children, allowing precise tracking through a dedicated mobile app. Parents can set virtual safety zones and receive immediate alerts if their child leaves these areas. By leveraging advanced technology, Safe Guélé helps prevent abductions and assaults, offering greater peace of mind.

Safe Guélé directly supports Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by promoting child safety (SDG 3), gender equality (SDG 5), and reducing inequalities (SDG 10).

More than just a tracking device, Safe Guélé is a modern security solution that places child protection at the forefront. By preventing disappearances and violence, it provides parents with a reliable safety tool, ensuring a secure future for children in Guinea.

The project is not specific to any location and can be replicated in any country where children's safety is a concern.

The operation cost associated with running is not so high as it can be easily be scaled by acquiring new devices while the server scale up cost can be negligeable in comparison to the benefits.

Safe Guélé directly supports several SDGs, including: SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being): Ensuring child safety by reducing the risks of assaults and disappearances. SDG 5 (Gender Equality): Protecting both girls and boys from violence and promoting a safe environment for all children. SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities): Ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has access to safety and protection measures.
