## What is Yawa?

Yawa bridges the gap between you and the people who can help — fast.

Whether you're walking home alone, feeling unsafe, or witnessing an emergency, Yawa lets you raise the alarm in seconds and keep the people who matter most informed and connected in real time.

SAFETY CIRCLE
Build a trusted circle of friends and family from your contacts. They'll be the first to know when something's wrong — no group chats, no delays.

ONE-TAP SOS
Trigger an SOS alert instantly. Yawa shares your precise, real-time location with your safety circle so they always know where you are and can act quickly.

LIVE LOCATION TRACKING
During an active SOS, your circle can follow your movement on a live map, even after the alert is sent — giving responders and loved ones the context they need to reach you.

CAPTURE EVIDENCE
Record audio, photos, and video directly from an SOS alert. Every recording adds critical context for your circle and can be saved for your own records.

REAL-TIME ALERTS
Push notifications keep your circle instantly informed the moment you need them — and let you respond just as fast when someone in your circle needs you.

BUILT FOR COMMUNITIES
Yawa isn't just personal safety — it's community safety. Report incidents, stay aware of what's happening around you, and help build safer neighborhoods together.

PRIVATE & SECURE
Your location and media are shared only with the people you choose. Yawa uses secure authentication to keep your account and your circle protected.

Download Yawa and make sure help is always one tap away.

Safety first. Community strong.
