About the solution
FasoSoap肥皂包含了由乳木果油,非洲万寿菊,柠檬香茅精油以及其他秘密成分制成的驱蚊剂。所有的原料都是天然的,可在布基纳法索当地购买。该解决方案将相应配方添加到本地生产的肥皂中,成为一种非常方便的、低成本的抗疟疾工具。
使用肥皂后,它能够皮肤上留下驱逐蚊子的香味长达6小时。因而,这一创新发明对疟疾的预防起了积极作用。
当他们还是学生时,发明者与Moctar Dembélé一起开发了这一解决方案。
在热拉尔国家,大多数人口生活在贫困线以下,大多数人不能经常购买如灭蚊霜,喷雾剂、防护网等药品和产品。这一状况促使他们发明了一种能够驱逐和杀死蚊虫的肥皂,这种肥皂对于大多数人来说是容易获得和能够承受的,因为肥皂是一种商品,特别是不会增加额外的费用。
发明家解释说:“肥皂是所有非洲家庭中都能找到的一种产品,无论他们多么贫穷。”
“大多数人在晚上洗脸,并希望可以在睡觉时免受蚊虫的侵害。我们的肥皂可以满足人们清洁的愿望,也可以保护他们免受疟疾的困扰,而且无须额外的费用。肥皂用于洗涤身体和衣服,是95%的非洲家庭中都有的少数产品之一 -不仅是稳定的产品,而且是非洲人民每天都在使用的东西。“热拉尔说。
该工程师在瓦加杜古(布基纳法索)创建了“100.000 Vies”,一个非营利组织,来开发FasoSoap肥皂项目。
FasoSoap荣获2013年全球社会创业大赛(GSVC)大奖以及Blum中心“人民选择奖。在4月12日的GSVC全球大会上,这个反疟疾倡议背后的团队获得了26,500美元的奖金,来启动他们的创业计划。
FasoSoap肥皂是第一个赢得GSVC的非美国项目。他们于2016年发起了“拯救十万人生活”的众筹活动,希望筹集113,000美元来测试和制造肥皂。他们的目标是到2018年通过预防疟疾,在刚果民主共和国,坦桑尼亚,加纳,尼日利亚和乌干达拯救10万人的生命。
他们利用众筹,筹集了足够的资金用于生产,但目前还没有商业化。
