The Boda Emergency Network (BEN) is designed to transform the security industry across East and Central Africa by delivering fast, local, and reliable emergency response. For communities, BEN provides affordable access to safety services through trained riders drawn from within the neighborhoods they serve, building trust and reducing crime in public spaces. For businesses, BEN strengthens operational continuity by ensuring faster interventions, lowering insurance risks, and demonstrating a commitment to staff and customer safety. For individuals, it restores confidence in personal security by guaranteeing that with one tap, help is on the way — a vital reassurance for commuters, students, and vulnerable groups. At the industry level, BEN modernizes private security with technology-driven dispatch, GPS tracking, SLA enforcement, and transparent reporting, while also expanding capacity by training and verifying boda riders as professional responders. By combining speed, local presence, accountability, and transparency, BEN seeks to rebuild public confidence in security and create a safer, more resilient ecosystem where communities, businesses, and individuals feel empowered and protected.
