Ikhaya means home
Every woman deserves to feel safe.
Every woman deserves to get home.
Ikhaya Haven makes practical personal safety tools for South African women — a 130dB personal alarm and a discreet GPS tracker. Small tools, carried every day, because getting safely home should never be left to luck.
The Tools
Safety you can carry
Why We Exist
This is not a niche. This is the reality South African women live in.
Gender-based violence is not a headline that passes. It is a daily calculation women make — which route to walk, when to leave work, whose call to fake on the way home. Ikhaya Haven exists to put something back in her hand: a tool, a signal, a way home.
Every 3 hours
a woman is murdered in South Africa, according to national crime statistics. Behind every number is a name, a family, a community.
1 in 3
women worldwide experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. South Africa carries one of the heaviest burdens of all.
9 women
were found murdered in the Johannesburg and Kempton Park area in April 2025. We say it plainly, and we refuse to look away.
We honour the women we have lost — in Kempton Park, in Johannesburg, and in every community across this country — not with silence, but with purpose. Their stories are treated here with dignity: named only as a reason to act, never as a spectacle.
Practical, not performative
How the tools help
No app subscriptions to juggle at a crisis moment. No gimmicks. Just tools that work in the seconds that matter.
01
Attention on demand
A 130dB personal alarm cuts through silence and shame in a single press. Attention is a deterrent — most attackers want a quiet target.
02
Never truly alone
A discreet GPS tracker means someone you trust always knows where you are — walking home, waiting for a taxi, travelling at night.
03
Everyday carry
Small enough for a keyring, a school bag or a jacket pocket. Safety that lives with you, not in a drawer.
"Ikhaya" means home.
Haven is the promise.
Every alarm bought is one more woman with a voice at 130dB. Every tracker is one more mother who knows her daughter made it home. That is the whole idea.
