Simtholile — Find Reunite Help

Simtholile helps people find missing loved ones, report sightings, reconnect families, support displaced people and coordinate community help during emergencies. Where are the people we care about, are they safe, and what do they need? MISSING PERSONS Create and share missing person cases with photos, physical details, last known location, dates, circumstances and relevant police case information. Keep important case information together so families and communities can work from the same source. SIGHTINGS Report a possible sighting and add the time, location, landmarks, notes and an optional photo. Sightings are kept as part of the case timeline and can be reviewed and verified instead of automatically declaring someone found. REPORT SAFE If you are safe after becoming separated or displaced, you can report yourself safe. You can also report that someone else is safe. Simtholile is designed to support situations where someone may be using a borrowed phone, so help can begin without requiring a complicated account setup. FAMILY REUNIFICATION Help families reconnect by bringing missing-person cases, safe reports and sightings into one place. Information can be updated as circumstances change while keeping a record of reports and updates. MISSING PERSON POSTERS Create a shareable missing person poster containing key case information and a QR code linking back to the case. Posters can be saved and shared through messaging apps, social media or printed for community searches. SHELTERS AND DISPLACEMENT Find and share information about shelters, relief hubs and displaced communities. Shelter information can include location, availability, capacity, services, restrictions and current needs. Report displacement sites and help communities communicate where people have moved, whether they need assistance, and what vulnerabilities or urgent needs may exist. COMMUNITY HELP Create or respond to requests for food, water, shelter, medical assistance, clothing, hygiene supplies, transport, identification support and other urgent needs. SEARCH AND RESCUE Organise community search parties with meeting points, search areas, instructions and volunteer roles. Keep field updates together so people involved in a search can coordinate more effectively. EMERGENCY AND DISASTER RESPONSE Simtholile brings missing-person searches, safe reports, shelters, displacement information and community assistance into one platform. It can be useful during disasters, evacuations, community emergencies and other situations where people become separated or need help. PRIVACY AND VERIFICATION Not every report is automatically treated as confirmed. Sightings and other community reports can remain unverified until they are reviewed. Sensitive information can be handled separately from information intended for public case discovery. OFFLINE-FIRST Simtholile is designed with offline use in mind. Information can be captured when connectivity is limited and synchronised when a connection becomes available, helping people continue working when networks are unreliable. WHO IS IT FOR? Simtholile can be used by families and relatives, community volunteers, NGOs and shelters, emergency responders and other people helping during a missing-person case, displacement event or community emergency. The goal is simple: help people find one another, know who is safe, understand what communities need, and make it easier for people to help. Simtholile is a community-focused platform and is not a replacement for emergency services or official law-enforcement procedures. When there is an immediate danger or emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service.
