At SWIMS, our mission is to build cost-effective solutions that contribute to achieving sustainable development goal 13 and preventing the climate crisis. Led by Fru-Mark Carrington Chei, our team prioritizes easy and sustainable waste collection and disposal through innovative hardware-software solutions. Our first project has the potential to revolutionize waste management practices, and we're proud to be at the forefront of sustainable waste management solutions. We remain committed to promoting environmental sustainability through innovation and dedication.
Waste collection is the most challenging sector of Africa's waste management system. Despite the efforts of waste collectors, only 20% of the total waste produced in Africa is collected each year, resulting in overflowing dustbins and exposed waste. This leads to increased carbon footprints and fuel consumption as waste collectors struggle to meet their targets. At SWIMS, we recognize these challenges and are committed to addressing them through innovative solutions. Our Smart Waste Intelligent Monitoring System streamlines waste collection and disposal practices through optimized routes and improved efficiencies. By leveraging technology, we can help waste collectors reduce their carbon footprints and contribute to a more sustainable future.
