Bringing
support closer.

A locally managed, solar-powered platform designed for communities conventional systems struggle to reach. Rather than asking mothers and families to navigate distant and disconnected services, the Solar Digital SafeHub brings multiple forms of support together in one accessible community platform.

WHAT IS A SAFEHUB?

One platform. Connected support.

A Solar Digital SafeHub is a flexible community platform combining safe physical space, solar power,
digital access, trained facilitators and integrated community services.

The model adapts to the needs of different communities while maintaining one central principle:
support should be accessible, dignified, locally led and connected.

The reach of each SafeHub

Mothers & caregivers reached annually
0 +
Children reached annually
0 +

One Solar Digital SafeHub is designed to reach 10,000+ mothers and caregivers and 6,000+ children
annually through hub-based services and community outreach activities.
Internal note: retain a documented calculation supporting these annual reach figures, including the treatment of unique
and repeat participants, hub activities, outreach, operating days and mobile/community delivery. 

How the model works

Listen

We work with communities to understand priorities, existing resources and barriers to support.

Build locally

The SafeHub is developed with local participation and adapted to the community context.

Connect services

Maternal and child support, parenting, wellbeing, digital access, learning and resilience pathways are brought together through one platform.

Strengthen local capacity

Community facilitators and partners help sustain relationships and services close to families.

Learn and adapt

Community feedback and program evidence continuously strengthen the model.

What happens inside a SafeHub?

Mental Health & Wellbeing

Safe conversations, psychosocial support, counselling pathways and peer connection.

Digital Access & Learning

Access to digital information, learning resources, connectivity and essential online services.

Safe Community Space

A trusted environment for women, caregivers, young people and community activities.

MOBILE SAFEHUBS

Taking the model further.

Not every community can immediately support permanent infrastructure. Mobile SafeHubs extend selected services and activities to remote or mobile communities, allowing EKISIL and partners to reach families beyond fixed locations.

They can also support community engagement, learning and responsible expansion into new areas.

WHY SOLAR?

Powering access where infrastructure is limited.

Many communities where EKISIL works face unreliable or limited electricity and connectivity. Solar power helps SafeHubs support digital learning, communication, device charging and access to information with greater continuity.

Technology is not the destination. It is a tool for bringing people closer to support.
