Kuyu prohibits all content that sexually exploits, harms, or endangers minors (CSAE — Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation). Any such content will be removed immediately and reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and relevant authorities.
What Kuyu is
Kuyu is a collaborative mapping tool for communities and development organisations to decide together where to dig a tube well. It is intended for adult community members and NGO/funder staff operating in rural areas.
Our zero-tolerance policy
- Kuyu has a zero-tolerance policy for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that exploits, harms, or endangers children.
- Kuyu does not permit grooming, solicitation, or trafficking of minors in any form.
- Any user who submits such content will be immediately removed from the platform and reported to law enforcement.
- This policy applies to all data submitted through the app: map marks, notes, photos, and any other user-generated content.
How we prevent harm
- No public profiles. Kuyu does not create public user profiles. Marks are visible only to members of a named private site.
- No direct messaging. Kuyu has no chat or direct messaging feature.
- No minor-specific features. Kuyu has no features designed for or targeted at children under 13.
- In-app reporting. Every mark on the map has a Report button. Community members can flag inappropriate content, including any child safety concern.
- Photo moderation. Photos added to water-point marks are reviewed and can be removed at any time on report.
How to report a child safety concern
If you see anything in Kuyu that you believe endangers a child or constitutes CSAM, please report it immediately:
- Use the Report button in the app (on any map mark) and select "Child safety concern".
- Email us directly at [email protected] with the subject line "Child Safety Report — Kuyu".
Report a child safety concern
Response commitment
We will acknowledge all child safety reports within 24 hours and act on confirmed violations within 48 hours. We cooperate fully with law enforcement and will report CSAM to NCMEC as required by law.
