M-Pesa scams are growing across East Africa. Learn the 7 signs of a fake message and how to protect yourself before losing money.
Read MoreAkili na Wakati is the first digital safety platform written in Kiswahili. We serve Kiswahili speakers across East Africa, Central Africa, and the global diaspora—with articles, guides, and professional audits.
Smart Work. Perfect Timing.
Every day, Kiswahili speakers around the world lose money to phone scams, get their accounts hacked, and receive fake messages from "banks" or "government agencies."
The problem isn't that people can't read. The problem is that most safety information exists in English—or in technical language that ordinary people don't understand.
People lose thousands to fake messages pretending to come from banks, M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money, or government agencies.
WhatsApp, Facebook, and email accounts get hijacked because people don't know how to set strong passwords and two-factor authentication.
Most safety information is in English. Many people don't read it, don't understand it, or don't trust it. Kiswahili is a bridge, not a barrier.
Akili na Wakati is changing that—with simple Kiswahili, real examples, and practical advice for Kiswahili speakers worldwide.

Digital Safety in Kiswahili
Akili na Wakati Limited was founded for a simple reason: Kiswahili speakers around the world don't have access to digital safety information in a language they truly understand.
We saw people losing money to phone scams. We saw accounts being hacked. We saw families torn apart by identity theft. And we saw that most safety information exists in English—or in technical language that ordinary people don't understand.
We decided to change that.
Today, Akili na Wakati Limited is the first Kiswahili-first digital safety and language services company. We write in simple Kiswahili, use real examples from East Africa, Central Africa, and the diaspora, and provide practical advice that anyone can follow.
Our goal is simple: to make digital safety accessible to every Kiswahili speaker—wherever you are in the world.
We are in the process of joining leading professional language bodies worldwide:
