Frequently Asked Questions About School Fire Safety
SafeDormitory is a national initiative launching soon to develop and deploy affordable fire detection and response technology for Kenyan schools, born from decades of preventable dormitory fire tragedies.
Funds support research, hardware development, pilot installations, school safety programs, and future deployment. Donations via M-Changa fund the program; the Nominate a School leaderboard helps prioritize which school receives the first pilot.

The system is in development and pilot planning. We publish milestones transparently as prototypes and installations progress.
