Missing Children in South Africa

Every year, thousands of children in South Africa go missing or are reported lost, leaving families devastated and communities shaken.

According to Missing Children South Africa (MCSA), a child goes missing every 5 hours in the country.

While many are found, far too many cases end in tragedy or remain unresolved.

At SheSecure SmartKids, we believe prevention is key. The SmartWrist is designed to help parents and children reduce these risks:

Tips for Parents and Kids to Stay Safe

Encourage awareness of surroundings

Help your child build the habit of looking around, noticing people nearby, and paying attention to where they are.

A confident child who knows what’s happening around them is less likely to be caught off guard.

Remind your child to use their SmartWrist if they feel unsafe

Reassure your child that pressing the button or using the gesture on their SmartWrist is never wrong if they feel uncomfortable.

It’s better to call for help and be safe than to stay silent in fear.

Teach safe spaces and trusted adults

Show your child which places are safe to go if they ever feel uneasy — like schools, libraries, shops, or community centers.

Introduce them to trusted adults such as teachers, relatives, or close family friends, so they know who they can turn to for help.

✨ Safety is a shared journey — when kids feel supported and prepared, they grow up confident, resilient, and ready for adventure.
