Safetipin is a nominee for mBiliionth Award South Asia 2014. It is a free app, which works towards making our communities, and cities safer by providing safety-related information collected by users and trained auditors. We believe that if large numbers of people begin to be involved in safety, this will serve as an incentive for relevant authorities to respond. At the core of the app is the Safety Audit. It consists of a set of 9 parameters that together contribute to the perception of safety. Each audit results in a pin on the specific location where the audit was performed and also records the time and date. Different colours are used to indicate safety level for a particular place: Green for Safe, Amber for Less Safe, and Red for Unsafe. I wish everyone all the best! Eagerly waiting for the results.
