As a U.S.-based NGO, we champion children's right to safer schools worldwide. Our work focuses on hazard-prone regions, ensuring that children's rights to safety, survival, and education are protected. We develop tools that help communities build their capacity to safeguard these fundamental rights.
Education authorities can access a comprehensive database to review and analyze crowd-sourced results. This helps them understand community perceptions, visualize safety assessments, and plan targeted interventions. The data collected through our apps provides valuable insights for improving school safety measures.
Our first app is designed for public awareness and introduces users to school safety concepts. The second app is a specialized tool for school assessors to conduct in-depth, non-technical safety evaluations and identify facilities that may need thorough assessment. Both apps are part of our Comprehensive School Safety Assessment Suite.
