MAYA4WOMEN is a standard e-hailing service for women and children only that is operated by women only.
MAYA4WOMEN was inspired by Melanie Engelbrecht, a single mother living in Cape Town, South Africa. As such she faced many of the challenges that women in her position take as norm. Women in Africa who hold down jobs - sometimes more than one - have constant issues with getting their kids to school, then collecting them and on top of all of the usual requirements there are all the ‘after school activities’ that go on throughout the school year. Also having two teenage girls she was concerned with the safety of them taking rides from intoxicated friends or using a Ridesharing service which is mostly manned by male drivers. She then conceived this idea which she has been pursuing for two years.
