Billions go in. Silence comes back.

U.S. nonprofits move $3 trillion a year. Only 7.7% reaches direct grants. The rest goes to the enormous cost of running programs no one can see.

You can wire a million dollars to build a hospital in East Africa and six months later the best evidence you have that it's working is a PDF someone emailed you.

That's not an edge case. That's the norm.

Right now, no one can tell you whether that water well is pumping, whether that hospital has patients, or whether that school is in use.

We built something that can.

1. Connect

A small device plugs into whatever cameras are already on-site. Runs on solar. Works on 3G.

2. Analyze

Everything gets processed on the device. No video leaves the site. What comes out is structured data.

3. Verify

You get a live dashboard. Same data whether you open it in New York or Nairobi.

Water Wells & Pumps

Is the pump running? How many people used it today? When was it last down? Simple questions. Until now, nobody had answers.

Hospitals & Clinics

You funded a hospital. Now you can see whether it's serving patients.

Schools

Are kids showing up? Are classrooms being used? You shouldn't have to fly there to find out.

Orphanages & Care Facilities

The places that need the most oversight are usually the hardest to oversee.

Agriculture & Farming

The same system that monitors a hospital can monitor a farm.

Independent verification. Not surveillance.

Obvious question: isn't this surveillance?

No.

All processing happens on the device. No video leaves the site.

Motion vectors and selective snapshots. Not continuous recording.

No facial recognition. No biometric data.

Works on 3G and satellite. Solar-compatible.

We're not affiliated with any charity we monitor. That independence is the whole point.

What happens next?

Every deployment is different. We talk pricing after we understand your setup.
