What Hodi does

Everything a survivor needs to reach help

Verified Directory

Thousands of facilities across Kenya — health, police, legal aid, counselling and shelters — ranked nearest-first with working contacts.

Maps & Live Routing

Real walking and driving routes with distance and time, plus spoken guidance for moments when looking at a screen is not safe.

Supportive AI Chat

A grounded assistant that answers from the real directory, speaks the user's language, and always puts emergency escalation first.

One-tap SOS

An always-visible SOS reaches GVRC's crisis desk by call, SMS or WhatsApp — and a quick-exit button leaves the app instantly.

Rights & Resources

Curated guides on rights, safety planning and recovery, readable inside the app so nothing lands in the browser history.

Calm & Grounding

Slow ambient audio and a small game for steadying breath and taking a breather — available even when offline.

For institutions

One platform for the whole response network

  • Manage facilities, services, staff and infrastructure from a single dashboard.
  • Publish documents and calming audio straight to the mobile app — no release needed.
