''MAPAL''
BRIEF
Find a solution to the lack of water in Africa with your designer skills.
PROBLEM
Access to clean drinking water remains a critical challenge in many parts of Africa, with millions of people lacking reliable access to safe water sources. This has led to numerous health problems, including waterborne diseases and malnutrition, and has hindered social and economic development in affected communities.
SOLUTION
This work was with the collaboration of Guy Avner.
After searching, we found that there is no shortage of water in Africa! The second biggest lake in the world is in Africa and it's name is ''Victoria''. The problem is the physical accessibility to water, the distribution in the far village. So we create ''Mapal'' a private society that provide water in all Africa by different way, on the ground and in the air.
This can be possible with the ''Mapal'' app, the humanitarian aid workers on the spot can see in live all the water transport around and order the quantity of water they need by different way of delivery depending on the emergency.
To promote our app we also made a marketing clip.
