Social impact
Good for people, and for places.
Togra is built on a simple idea: being there means something. Done well, that idea is good for friendships, for the places we share and for the people who make them worth going to.
The UN Global Goals
Where Togra can help.
Six of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that Togra is built to serve. We’ll measure our part as we grow.
Goal 11 · Sustainable cities and communities
Public places people want to go to, local businesses people walk into, and a place’s past that keeps how a city was lived, left by the people who lived it.
Goal 3 · Good health and well-being
Time with friends in person matters. Togra gives people a reason to meet, and never keeps anyone on a screen with streaks or guilt.
Goal 8 · Decent work and economic growth
Creators and small businesses reach the people who actually come, free to start, with offers that bring people through the door.
Goal 10 · Reduced inequalities
Everything you do with friends is free, in every city. Swahili and Sheng are there from the start, not added later.
Goal 16 · Peace, justice and strong institutions
Privacy by design, safety that acts on reports first, and extra protection for young people. Nobody’s location is ever for sale.
Goals 9 and 17 · Innovation and partnerships
Built in Nairobi, shared openly where it helps, and made with universities, cities and cultural organizations that care about places.
What we promise.
Impact is easy to claim. These are the promises we can be held to.
- Everything you do with friends stays free, everywhere.
- Nobody’s location or movements are ever sold.
- Nothing commercial is aimed at young people.
- Private messages never train models or target ads.
- What helps everyone, we share openly.
- We’ll report on how we’re doing, in plain numbers, as Togra grows.
Work with us on it.
Universities, cities, heritage and community organizations: if you care about how places are lived and remembered, we’d love to hear from you.
