Gorebet, an app that leverages the traditional Ethiopian concept of “Gurbitina,” enabling users to connect and share important local information, has been launched by Opian Technologies.
The platform, designed to enhance neighborhood safety and encourage proactive resident engagement, lets users report public, infrastructure, and environmental incidents impacting their lives.
“Such information is crucial for creating an informed and connected community,” said Brook Getachew, co-founder of this community-driven platform. “By sharing real-time data on local issues, Gorebet helps residents stay aware of their surroundings, enhances neighborhood safety, and fosters a culture of mutual aid and collaboration,” he added.
The platform’s public category covers theft, traffic accidents, fire, gender-based violence, lost and found items, and other incidents. The infrastructure category includes electric power problems, water supply issues, potholes/road problems, and public transportation issues. The Environmental category allows users to report environmental incidents.
Users can download the app, register with their address, and report incidents with their location. Additionally, they can post anonymously to a feed visible to everyone. Gorebet supports text, image, and video reporting for incident details.
