Alleviate is a system that will enable over 4.1 billion people on Earth to have access to social protection. The system helps organizations in the sector roll out social assistance, safety net programs, cash transfers,  public works, fee waivers, subsidies and a lot more all in one collaborative platform.  

“At Bewsys we transform communities through collaborating with partners globally to create lasting  impact.” Said Bewsys CEO Robert Okine adding that in the social impact world, organizations like to do good and feel good about it.

“We quickly forget the actual need on the ground and provide solutions based on our own assumptions. This is where Bewsys comes in, we provide a system that gives actual data, generated by the people in need of social protection, which is then fed to the organizations that provide solutions. A data-driven approach creates direct and long-lasting impact in the society.” 

The event featured notable speakers and thought leaders, including The Global Director, CHASP Advisory Omondi Otieno and B Lab Africa CEO Lucy Muigai who shared their insights on the pressing social issues at hand and the innovative approach taken by Bewsys.  

Speaking during the event, Omondi Otieno noted that in order to improve the reach and quality of healthcare and social protection programs in Africa, it is crucial for social organizations to understand exactly what is needed and where it is needed the most.

“The only way to achieve impact is to be extremely clear on the problem you are trying to solve, the worst hit areas and the best way to provide the solution. Alleviate is designed to lower the costs of problem-solving and increase the speed at which NGOs can achieve their mandates.” 

"Through the potent synergy of enterprise, B Lab exerts a transformative influence on global corporations,  guiding them to harmonize profit and purpose. This novel approach of strategic collaboration by Better  World Solutions fosters a progression from assumed to real impact by the nonprofit world and social enterprises," said Muigai adding that the time for the NGO world to embrace data-driven approaches is now. 

During the event, Ulrich Gros, a Non-executive Board Member of Bewsys, emphasized the company's dedication to making a real impact in Kenya.

"Today, we stand on the cusp of a new era. With the launch of Alleviate, we are not just introducing technology – we are fostering positive change, creating opportunities, and empowering individuals and communities to thrive," stated Gros

"Digital innovation through partnerships. Innovation is the key to transformation and navigating change together.  It is the driving force that moves companies forward and changes problems into solutions. We are challenging convention and forging new paths where we forge new partnerships to spur change and growth within our social impact ecosystem."

The company’s CEO Robert Okine said that Bewsys' success has been built on collaboration and commitment.

“The company extends its heartfelt gratitude to its partners, whose unwavering support and dedication have been instrumental in bringing this innovative solution to fruition. Together, Bewsys  and its partners are taking a bold step towards transforming lives and communities.” Okine explained.
