Community Safety Map
By transforming community‑submitted location reports into an open safety map, we help neighbors move confidently through public spaces — and, just as importantly, give charities, outreach teams, and social‑service agencies a clear view of where medical aid, food, and care are needed most.
Report via Telegram BotHow It Works
- Start the Telegram bot.
Tap our beggars.info bot link to begin. - Describe what you see.
In your own words, tell the bot the kind of begging you’re witnessing (e.g. “selling tissues”, “aggressive panhandling”). - Share your location while you’re near the person.
The bot immediately prompts for a live location pin so the report is accurate. - Privacy-first processing.
• The bot auto-translates your description to English.
• An LLM classifies the report by beggar type.
• The raw message is deleted from the database once processed, so the bot “forgets” who sent it. - Moderation & map update.
After human review, a simplified report—location rounded to the nearest 100 m square and labelled with the AI scam type—appears on the public map.
