The Challenge

Mental Health in Africa Needs a New Approach

High Costs

Quality mental health care remains unaffordable for most Africans, with therapy sessions costing more than weekly wages.

Limited Access

With less than 1 psychiatrist per 1 million people in many African countries, professional help is nearly impossible to find.

Stigma

Cultural stigma around mental health prevents millions from seeking the help they desperately need.

Language Barriers

Most mental health resources are only available in English, excluding those who prefer their local language.

Frequently Asked Questions

SafeSpeak is Africa's first full-stack, AI-powered mental health platform. We provide 24/7 AI counseling, mood tracking, peer support communities, and access to licensed therapists — all designed to be culturally sensitive and accessible in local African languages.

Our AI counselor uses advanced emotional tone detection to understand how you're feeling. It proactively engages you in conversation, provides coping strategies, and offers support in your preferred language. The AI is trained to be culturally aware and sensitive to African contexts.

Absolutely. Your privacy is our top priority. SafeSpeak uses end-to-end encryption, and you can join communities on the app anonymously. We never share your personal data with third parties, and you're always in control of your information.

We're building SafeSpeak to support multiple African languages including Swahili, Yoruba, Hausa, Amharic, Zulu, and more. We'll continue expanding our language support based on user needs and feedback.

SafeSpeak operates on a freemium model. Free users get daily access to AI counseling, mood tracking, and community features with usage limits. SafeSpeak Pro unlocks unlimited AI conversations, priority support, advanced mood analytics, exclusive self-help resources, and discounted sessions with licensed therapists.
