Introducing Sema Na Me: A Safe Space in Your Pocket

  • 30 Apr 2025

At Shujaaz Inc, we believe every young person deserves somewhere they can turn to when things get heavy—without fear of shame, silence, or judgement. That’s why we’ve launched Sema Na Me (swahili for talk to me)—a new WhatsApp chatbot that creates a private, supportive space where young people can speak freely about their sexual and mental health.

Whether they’re facing a crisis, curious about their health, or just need someone to talk to, Sema Na Me is here to listen and refer young people to vetted and friendly service providers. No topic is too small or too taboo.

Opening up doesn’t always need a room or a crowd. Sometimes, all it takes is a message. That’s the power of this chatbot: it puts the chance to unburden, explore, and feel heard directly in young people’s hands.

With Sema Na Me, Shujaaz puts the power to be heard and helped right where it belongs—in young people’s hands, on their terms.
