Neftaly Mobile Applications for Community Safety and Risk Reporting in Informal Settlements

Empowering Communities. Enhancing Safety. Saving Lives.

Informal settlements are often underserved when it comes to public safety infrastructure, emergency response systems, and risk mitigation resources. At Neftaly (Neftaly Consulting & Training), we believe every individual — regardless of where they live — deserves access to safety, support, and information.

That’s why we’ve developed the Neftaly Mobile Applications for Community Safety and Risk Reporting — an innovative, easy-to-use platform designed to empower residents of informal settlements to report hazards, share alerts, and access critical safety resources in real time.
