They can choose to sign-in using their email address, Google account, Facebook account, or through text message. This empowers users to make decisions based on their safety and concerns regarding privacy on their phone.   




Verification Process


The app empowers women by providing financial stability and access to new career and employment opportunities. In order to assist women financially, the app offers both standard and emergency loan options, with flexible repayment plans. To ensure the validity of users, verification of identification is required. 





App Sections

The app consists of several key sections, each serving as a hub for specific functionalities and content, providing users with a seamless experience. The home screen serves as a valuable resource, offering women access to support and assistance during challenging times. On the financial and housing screen, users can make informed decisions tailored to their current needs, gaining insights into available financial and housing options. The safety screen is dedicated to enhancing personal security in public spaces, empowering users to request immediate emergency escorts or schedule them in advance, ensuring a heightened sense of safety. Through these sections, users can navigate, interact, and leverage the app’s diverse features to address their unique requirements.

The financial support section provides users with the flexibility to choose between emergency and standard loans, depending on their immediate requirements. To access this support, users are required to fill out an online questionnaire and provide either proof of income or a description outlining the purpose of the loan.
