Kenyan startup NoMa is working to provide safe transportation solutions for students to reach their schools. It focuses on optimized routes, real-time tracking features, and seamless communication between drivers and schools.
Founded last year by Lucy Kimani and Brenda Ndekei, the startup aims to address a major need in the country. NoMa initially received $100,000 in funding from Antler East Africa and has now secured additional financing to sustain its growth.
NoMa’s CEO Kimani shared their vision with Disrupt Africa:
“Traditional providers often lacked the necessary safety and tracking features parents wanted. While other private transport services exist, NoMa differentiates itself with advanced technology and a safety-first approach.”
“Since our launch, NoMa has seen rapid adoption, with parents and schools embracing our solution in urban areas where school commutes are often long and complex.”
“Currently, we have onboarded six schools and engage over 150 families with real-time updates on their children’s transportation.”
“We are active in Kenya’s major urban centres and plan to expand into other regions and East African markets where similar transportation challenges exist.”
