Only ~35% of people across 14 sub-Saharan African countries are health literate. Reuben founded the Health Literacy Africa Initiative to close that gap. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe #BreakTheWall

Around 30 million tonnes of tyres are discarded worldwide every year, and formal recycling hasn't kept pace. Trymore founded Vulca to close that loop. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe #BreakTheWall

Brewing generates 38–40 million tonnes of spent grain waste worldwide every year. In Zimbabwe, nearly all of it runs through one company - Delta Beverages. Anesu's turning that waste into an opportunity nobody's chasing yet. #FallingWallsLab #LabZimbabwe #WasteValorisation

Zimbabwe's 2018–2019 cholera strain resisted the standard antibiotic in 96.7% of cases. Ngoni, a pharmacist, is testing an unlikely ally: mango leaf compounds. #FallingWallsLab #LabZimbabwe #AntimicrobialResistance

Neonatal hypothermia rates hit 60–85% in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Kangaroo Mother Care helps but only stable infants who can be held. Joseph built NEOPOUCH for the infants who can't. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe

African data made up just 1.1% of global genomic research as of 2021, despite holding the most genetic diversity on the planet. Sandra uses next-gen sequencing to find what standard tests, built on other populations, miss. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe

An estimated 65% of mining haul truck accidents come down to operator fatigue. Melindah's retrofit - smart glasses, auto-braking, alerts - catches it before drowsiness wins. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe

Fewer than 5,000 certified drone pilots exist across all of Africa, and the hardware is almost entirely imported. Muzomuhle is building carbon-fibre drones made in Zimbabwe. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe

Disaster planning in Africa is usually reactive, mapped after the flood, not before. Mufarowashe uses AI to design settlements that survive what's coming. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe

Zimbabwe holds the world's 7th-largest lithium reserves and almost none of the value stays home. Alice is working to change that. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe

Sugarcane waste is usually burned or dumped. Malvern turned it into the anode of a lithium-ion battery. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe

Only ~44% of Zimbabwe has reliable electricity access. Rooftop solar could help but most panels just sit there, missing the sun's arc all day. Cyril built a tracker using soft robotics to chase the light. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe

Zimbabwe loses ~262,000 hectares of forest a year. Most reforestation fails anyway, degraded soil kills young trees before they take root. Catherine's fix starts underground. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe

In parts of Zimbabwe like Gokwe & Matebeleland, extreme fluoride in water is the dental and skeletal health risk. Audrey built a ceramic filter cheap enough for the households that need it most. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe

Zimbabwean labs pour hazardous wastewater straight down the drain - no cheap way to treat it exists. Tafadzwa built one: a gravity-fed filter, no power needed. #FallingWallsLab #FWLZimbabwe
