Global Nominee

The Challenge | Smash your SDGs!

Your challenge is to develop creative solutions that use Earth observations to address the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and foster sustainable development worldwide. Use NASA and other Earth observing satellites’ data as well as information generated by crowd-sourcing and in-situ measurements to create practical applications that support environmental and societal policy across water, health, food security and/or land use domains.

Acqua Seeds

Acqua Seeds, a water puryfier made from the seeds of the Moringa tree. Its impact people's lives positively, reducing death and diaseases, and providing a better life quality.

Summary

Our team "2030" has goal to achieve the SDG number 6, againts the problem of basic sanitation and the difficult access of potable water in many regions over the world. Its chemicals properties cause the water impurities to precipitate, making the water clear and free of microorganism.

Resources: Moringa seeds, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, jQuery, JavaScript, internet.org, Water.

Presentation

Hello! We are the 2030 team, we are here to talk about challenge number 20 (Esmage your ODS), where we were challenged to choose an ODS and propose a solution, so we accepted the challenge of "ODS 6: clean water and sanitation".

Problem

According to WHO, 2.1 billion people in the world do not have access to safe drinking water at home and more than twice without basic sanitation.

Pain

The same study points out that the lack of potable water in the world is related to 80% of deaths and diseases in developing countries.

Market

Using data from NASA Earth Observatory to monitor water quality in the world and the Joint Monitoring Program (PCM) for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene we identified the major regions of the world that demand water potability solutions.

Scientific background

Thus, they seek to identify a sustainable and affordable alternative for surface water treatment. Through the study of scientific research carried out around the world, we identified that the seed of the moringa oleifera plant originating in India has useful properties for the treatment of surface waters, that is, making the water suitable for consumption, being an organic alternative to the water. use of aluminum sulfate. Moringa seed can be used in combination with aluminum sulfate for wastewater treatment of industries that obtain good results.

Solution - Product

Thus we propose the development of moringa seed sachet to facilitate use by people and industry.

Solution - Technology

Not only that, but we have also developed a website to present the information needed for moringa production and its use by people who need access to some type of water treatment.

Scale

A 2016 report published by Afrobarometer, an African research network that studied access to basic services and infrastructure in 35 countries, found that only 30% of Africans would have access to toilets and 63% to piped water, but 93% of them had access. to mobile phone services.

Impact

That's why we chose to host our website on the Internet.org Facebook project founded in August 2013 to expand internet access to 5 billion people - dramatically reducing the cost of mobile phone internet services in developing countries. .

With this we hope to reach and positively impact the lives of these people making accessible the knowledge necessary to treat surface waters contributing to the reduction of diseases and deaths and meeting the SDG 6 and the proposed challenge.
