It is predicted that by 2025, close to 230 million Africans will be facing water scarcity, and up to 460 million will be living in water-stressed areas. This project uses African bamboo weaving techniques and traditional materials and weaving techniques, building out the installation that can collect dew in the air. "YEMOJA" is an ingenious device that is designed to catch and condense fog into water droplets which, in turn, run down a mesh into a water storage container. And it’s ideally suited for poor, rural, mountainous, coastal regions with little freshwater resources or infrastructure.
