Wara Farm, With Farmers’ AI Tool, Win Moringa School Hackathon

Jacob’s Ladder Africa and Moringa School announced the winners of the Technology for Climate Hackathon. This was a challenge to young people to develop innovative tech-based solutions to address the impact of climate change in the country.

Wara Farm led by Verah Kwamboka and David Nene emerged as the winner. Their artificial intelligence (AI) powered solution mitigates inefficiencies in food supply chains as a means to address food insecurity in the country. The solution decentralizes supply chain processes and increases farmers’ access to information and tools to improve their outputs.

The second-place award was won by Okoa Waste. They seek to provide urban waste management solutions. A close third was Kambare, which aims to close the gap in access to high-quality and affordable aqua feeds.

“The brilliant ideas presented by the different teams that took part in the hackathon underscores our belief that African youth can be the engine for innovation on the continent. They have the potential to bring forth fresh, new solutions that are contextualized to Africa and we feel compelled to spur them on and help provide the tools they require.” Bilha Ndirangu, co-founder of Jacob’s Ladder Africa.

With 60% of the African population being under the age of 25, the youth can be catalysts for change. They should be able to leverage innovation to combat climate change and develop unique solutions to African challenges.

“Our collaboration with Jacob’s Ladder Africa exemplifies a good meeting of minds in using technology to encourage innovation towards developing solutions for climate change. The need for tech talent stands out and Moringa School continues to produce more and more skilled graduates. Some great ideas have emerged from the hackathon including creating a platform for urban farming, organic waste management, and more.” Snehar Shah, Chief Executive Officer, Moringa School.

The judging panel consisted of Dorothy Maseke, Head of Risk & Compliance at ICEA Lion Group, Lizzie Biney-Amissah, Partner at E3 Capital, Marcus Watson, Partner at KawiSafi Ventures and Francis Kahindi, Founder of Techprescribed.
