Hey PH 👋 I'm Antony, building PeerPal from Nairobi.
The stat that broke me: Kenya has 1 psychiatrist per 1 million people. Meanwhile, stigma means most people suffer in silence rather than tell anyone.
PeerPal is our answer: anonymous peer support, an AI companion, and licensed therapists, all on a phone with M-Pesa. No real name required, ever. Your alias is system-assigned to protect you.
We're collecting waitlist signups before our beta. If you know anyone in Kenya or across East Africa who needs this, please share. We're building for them first.

Who hunted PeerPal?
PeerPal was hunted by Antony Kiriinya. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
