Making South African Townships Safer for Women and Children.
TAPP is a community safety programme of Kululeko NPC, a registered non-profit company. It combines intelligent technology, trusted partnerships and proactive community safety initiatives to help protect those most at risk.
Why TAPP Exists
Every woman deserves to feel safe walking home. Every child deserves to grow up without fear. TAPP exists because technology, when combined with strong community partnerships, can help make that future possible.
The reality
The Challenge
Women feel unsafe walking home.
Communities need faster response.
Evidence matters.
Technology can support both.
The system
How TAPP Works
Drone
Sees the whole area at once, not one street at a time.
Wearable
One press says who needs help, and exactly where.
Operations Centre
Turns what is seen into something acted on.
Community
The township decides how any of it is used, through Sakhisizwe, Kululeko's community engagement arm, which also runs education and awareness on the ground.
Accountability
Why Trust TAPP
Responsible Technology
Footage covers public space, is held encrypted, and reaches only authorised officials.
Regulatory Compliance
Run by Kululeko NPC, a registered non-profit, under its Privacy Policy. Aviation, security and municipal approvals are being finalised, and our position is set out on the Compliance page.
Community Partnerships
Nothing is done to a township. It is done with it.
Transparency
We say what we are doing, and we say what we are not.
Founding project
It starts in Kayamandi.
One township, one partnership, built with the people who live there.
Partners
Nobody does this alone.
