As cholera rages in Nigeria and some other African countries due to shortage of clean water and good sanitation facilities in the affected areas, a Nigerian-born Dr. Ojodomo Achadu of Teesside University, UK, is leading a ground-breaking research team developing solar-powered water purification for the developing world.
This innovation, in collaboration with South African and Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC experts, has the potential to revolutionize access to clean water in Africa, improving the lives of millions.
Clean water, a cornerstone of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, remains out of reach for billions. By 2050, the World Meteorological Association predicts up to 5 billion people may lack safe water.
This crisis hits Africa particularly hard. Despite abundant water resources, millions consume contaminated water, jeopardizing their health and well-being. Innovative solutions for clean water and sanitation are crucial for Africa and the world, and Dr Achadu, a highly credentialed nanotechnology researcher, spearheads this innovation.
