Community Health and Water Risk Analysis of Africa

Communities in Africa and other parts of the world are faced with tremendous environmental and water problems such as environmental pollution, and waterborne diseases which leads to complicated health problems for children and older population.

This project is to identify key major risk of community health and water through inhabitant behavior, hygiene, sanitation and demographics. Analysis and result in this project are data-driven to provide insights for stakeholders, government and non-governmental organisations to make decisions for helping local communities. Results are based on 3 values (high, medium and low risk). To view our present dashboards and risk analysis of Africa 2023, please click and navigate the map and graph below.

Six countries (Cameroon, Nigeria, Malawi, Rwanda, Zambia, and Uganda) actively conducted assessments.

We are on a mission to cover the whole of Africa by 2030 to inform key stakeholders and other Non-governmental organisations to support these communities before more outbreaks occur. We have found communities that have been abandoned, and the videos shared show how these people suffer with very bad water. They need the right to access clean water through your support or any of your connections that you can help us share.

We have videos and pictures related to these conditions; all the data is real and current situations on the ground. We will be glad if you can assist us materially, technically, or financially so we can accomplish our mission for this project by 2030.

In December, 2023, we started our work in Africa in 6 countries and more than 43 local communities. We carried out field surveys. We collected data and direct information from the field with assistance from EKCÖLAB leaders in these countries. After the survey and local studies, we were able to determine the risk to community health and water in this area. In situations like Zambia, we identified 2 communities with high risk and 1 community with medium risk of infections and pollution related to waterborne diseases after analysing the data. Two weeks after our assessments and results, there was a cholera outbreak in Zambia, with one of these communities (Kuku-Lusaka) in our analysis being a hotpots for cholera infections and deaths in the current outbreak.
