Your home now has a code you can say. Every compound in Sierra Leone, in Freetown and in the smallest village, has an N-Ways code: the name of your community or town and a number said in groups, which takes a keke, a courier or a visitor straight to your gate. In Freetown, the council’s Plus Code comes first.

Get it in three taps

  1. Open N-Ways at home. On your phone, at map.nways.ng or in the app.
  2. Tap Get my code. The app finds the compound you are in and shows its code, like Moyamba 157 27.
  3. Share it. One tap sends it on WhatsApp or by text, with a link that opens the map at your gate.

Not at home right now?

Find your compound on the map and tap it, or drop a pin on it. The code is the same.

Say it like a phone number

The number is said in groups: Moyamba 157 27 is “Moyamba, one five seven, two seven”. The app shows the place and the gate before anyone sets off.

Help make it right

Every code starts provisional. When you open yours, tell the app whether it is right, and where your gate really is if the pin is off. When the people who live there agree, the code is confirmed.

Your privacy

A code describes a place, never the people in it. N-Ways stores no names with it, and it is not a land title.

Your gate deserves an address.

Open N-Ways at home, tap Get my code, and share it in one tap.
