Malaika is a community bases slum Safety System. It is a service built around a smart alert system.
By subscribing the family will be provided with a home safety device, consisting of 2 components who will live on the inside and the outside of the door. In case of a fire incident, the device will alert the neighborhood, as well as a trained and equipped first fire responder. Together they can help out immediately – before the situation is getting out of hand. Every household under the wings of malaika will be assigned it's 3-word-adresse.
