Kenya - Business creation project

Describe your project or startup in a few words

Air pollution has been a critical issue for many countries. It is the second-largest contributor to drastic climate change after carbon dioxide. We want to build a machine to control air pollution from big manufacturers

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

Our project is based on mostly biology and mechanical engineering,we research on way to reduce air pollution and came across an idea of building a machine that can help reduce air pollution from factories,this machine will act as an air purifier by mimicing photosynthesis from plants ,it tend to spilt carbon dioxide into two substances that are beneficial to humans,by creating this machine we should be able to reduce deaths which has been tallying at 3 million deaths per year .It will also increase life span and create employment to many

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

Air pollution ,being one of the main causes of many deaths all over the earth

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your project intends to provide (at least 3).

It will reduced air pollution and increase life span and reduce damage of the ozone layer

01.04 Please describe who exactly your project is aimed at serving. Who are the targeted beneficiaries?

We are aiming to serve the whole world by building a machine that will reduce air pollution from factories and products like kerosene drastically

01.05 When did you start working on your project?

2024-03-20

01.06 How many other partners are associated with your business venture?

1

01.07 Among the other partners, how many are female?

0

01.08 Please describe the profile of each of the other partners (skills, experience, etc.)

My partner is a self driven individual with motivation of providing a solution to air pollution with is a leading cause of many deaths ,he has the experience in climate change sector and worked for a few years with different organisations
