UMBRA: Uplifting Mothers with Balance, Resources, and Access
A text-based AI platform that helps working mothers navigate work and caregiving responsibilities by structuring goals and connection to local resources, without apps or surveillance.
Working mothers navigate workplaces that span homes, schools, jobs, and caregiving, yet most tools assume uninterrupted focus. UMBRA, co-designed with Shelter from the Rain's 14-year program and United Way of the Coastal Empire, and built by Georgia Tech Research Institute, meets mothers via text. AI structures intent into action, hyperlocal matching connects 200+ resources, and zero-knowledge encryption protects privacy. Trust-first technology can finally reflect caregiving realities and reshape workplace assumptions.
