RIL Supported Innovation Receives Global Recognition
SafeBangle is Ugandan based social enterprise devoted to designing and developing solutions to curb Sexual and Gender-Based-Violence for a free safer world. SafeBangle Team is developing a wearable safety tool that can be used by the would-be victims of assaults, SGBV, and other forms of injustices to be empowered to call their trusted relatives and loved ones for help and notify them where they are in-case stranded and trapped. RIL Uganda and the CSU are supporting the team through advisory services as well as a part-time residency opportunity for one of the team members that are able to access daily coaching as well as the RIL tools and network. This past year, SafeBangle won an award by Spindle for 30 MOST INSPIRING DIGITAL INNOVATIONS OF 2020.
