THUSO
THUSO
THUSO (a Tshivenda word meaning "help")is a digital platform designed to make Gender-Based Violence reporting safer, simpler, and more accessible while connecting individuals with existing support services.
+THUSO was created from the understanding that many survivors and community members face challenges when trying to report GBV or access support. Fear, stigma, uncertainty, and lack of information can prevent people from seeking help when they need it most.
Our goal is to use technology as a bridge between individuals and existing support systems by providing a safer and more accessible way to report concerns and find guidance.
Many individuals experience fear, stigma, or uncertainty about where and how to report cases of GBV.
People may struggle to find reliable information about available support services and assistance channels.
THUSO focuses on improving the connection between people in need and organisations already providing support.
Our mission is to contribute towards safer communities by creating digital solutions that reduce barriers to reporting and improve access to support.
THUSO does not replace the police, healthcare providers, or existing organisations. Instead, it helps users reach the right support channels more easily.
As THUSO continues to develop, our vision is to create a stronger digital support ecosystem where individuals can access help confidently, safely, and efficiently.
