L' OSSERVATORIO SOCIALE ASSOCIATION

1) WE WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF MALNUTRITION IN A PRIMARY SCHOOL IN KENYA WHERE THERE ARE 700 CHILDREN, MANY OF WHOM IN A STATE OF MALNUTRITION AND REDUCE CO2 EMISSIONS BECAUSE OUR CHALLENGE WILL BE ALSO USEFUL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

2) IN NAIROBI THERE IS A GREAT LEVEL OF POLLUTION. IT ARISES FROM COMBUSTION PHENOMENA, TRAFFIC. THIS SCHOOL WOULD BE AN HAPPY ISLAND CULTIVATING ALGAE 

2) THE SOLUTION TO GIVE THESE CHILDREN A BALANCED NUTRITION CONSISTS TO CREATE A PILOT PLANT IN THE SCHOOL WHERE SPIRULINA ALGAE IS PRODUCED WHICH WILL SERVE AS A SUPPLEMENT IN THEIR MEALS AND Not only, the production of several types of microalgae let to save our ecosistem because the microalgae absorb the carbon in atmosphere and we promote  feeding and environment.

3) THIS SOLUTION CAN ALSO BE TRANSFERRED TO OTHER SCHOOLS AND OTHER CONTEXTS. IT CAN CHANGE THE LIVES OF MANY PEOPLE

Since the start of the pandemic in Kenya, more than half of the Kenyan population, or 58% of the 53 million citizens, no longer have access to adequate daily quantities and qualities of food.
This is highlighted by a report on the food situation during the Covid-19 pandemic drawn up by the national statistical office of Kenya (KNBS).

The report that KNBS recently published online reveals that the worst situation occurred between the first and second coronavirus waves, between the middle and the end of 2020.

There are an estimated 1.4 million people, mostly in the arid and semi-arid areas of the country, suffering from acute malnutrition and respiratory deseases. In an already fragile socio-economic context, the health emergency has further affected the population, pushing another two million people below the poverty line, while the jobs that have gone up in smoke since the start of the pandemic are estimated to be around 1.7 million.

MALNUTRITION AND POLLUTION HITS THE PEOPLE AND CAN CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGES  AT LEVEL OF HEALTH, LEARNING AND GROWTH

MY SOLUTION IS TO HELP THE PEOPLE TO LIVE BETTER EATING GOOD FOOD THROUGH NATURAL ELEMENTS ADDED AND CLEANING THE AIR. AT THE SCHOOL THERE IS A LAND GOOD TO CULTIVATE. IT IS 1/8 OF AN ACRE AND IT IS ACCESSABLE TO THE BOREHOLE. WE CAN BUILD TWO TANKS AND A WATER REPLACEMENT MOTOR. THE MICROALGAE WE CAN BUY TO START THE CULTIVATION. SPIRULINA IS THE BEST BECAUSE IT IS ALREADY PRODUCED IN KENYA. WE CAN COLLECT THE PRODUCTION WHEN IT IS GOOD TO COLLECT AND PROCEED WITH DRYING. WE NEED OF A WEIGHT SCALE, A DOSER, A MACHINE FOR REDUCING TO POWDRE AND FLAKES. THE COLLECTION, THE PRESSING AND DRAWING ARE THE PROCESSES OF THE PRODUCTION.A LITTLE HUT WILL BE  BUILT IN THE SCHOOL AREA WHERE THESE OPERATIONS WILL BE CARRIED OUT. WE NEED OF A MACHINE FOR WRAPPING AFTER THE DRYING. THE PROCESSES WILL BE CONTROLLED BY AN EXPERT TECHNICIAN, HE OR SHE WILL HAVE ATTENDED TO A SPECIFIC TRAINING.THE PRODUCTION WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE CHILDREN OF THE SCHOOL PACKAGED IN BAGS. IN THE FUTURE PURCHASING PHOTOBIOREACTOR WILL INCREASE THE PRODUCTION OF MICROALGAE WITHOUT BUILDING OTHER THANKS. THIS SYSTEM IS VERY USEFUL WHEN THE CONDITIONS FOR PHOTOSYNTESIS ARE POOR

THE TARGET POPULATION IS COMPOSED OF CHILDREN ATTENDING THE SCHOOL, 700 CHILDREN, WE WILL WORK TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES.

THEY ARE OF DIFFERENT AGE BUT EVERYONE NEEDS TO INTEGRATE THE DIET BECAUSE SOME ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS FOR GROWTH ARE MISSING IN THE EVERYDAY FEEDING THAT ARE NOT FOUND IN THE CORN OR MAIS OR RICE THAT THEY USUALLY EAT.

SOME DEFICIENCES ARE EVIDENT WITH THE NAKED EYE, THEY HAVE DISEASES OF SIGHT, TEETH, BONES, OFTEN DELAY IN LEARNING.

THAT DEPENDS ON THE DIET BUT ALSO ON THE AIR THEY BREATHE AND THE QUALITY OF WATER.

FURTHERMORE IT IS POSSIBLE TO BUY A PHOTOBIOREACTOR TO GROWTH THE PRODUCTION

THIS CHALLENGE IS GOOD BECAUSE IT TACKLE THE PROBLEM DIRECTLY. IN A SCHOOL CAN START A NEW PHASE, A CHANGE OF MENTALITY,THAT WILL HELP CHILDREN GROW BETTER WITHOUT COST FOR FAMILIES; TO HELP THE FAMILIES TO CREATE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES, TEACHING THE METHODS OF PRODUCTION; TO DEFEND THE ECOSYSTEM 

THE PARENTS OF THE CHILDREN CAN ALSO STUDY THE PROCESS AND TO LEARN THE CULTIVATION MECHANISM, NOTIONS OF CHEMISTRY, OF BIOLOGY THAT WILL USE TO EXPAND THEIR HORIZONS SO THE OLDER CHILDREN

THIS CHALLENGE IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE FUTURE BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY WILL LEARN HOW THE FEEDING IS IMPORTANT IF IT IS GOOD AND HOW THE AIR AND THE DEFENSE OF THE ENVIRONMENT IS BASIC.

GROWTH : IT MEANS THAT OUR ORGANIZATION IS TESTING AN IDEA OF GROWTH IN A PRIMARY SCHOOL TO GIVE A SERVICE TO ALL THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE CHILDREN OF THE SCHOOL LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE THE SCHOOL IS LOCATED. THIS GROWTH CAN INTEREST OTHER COMMUNITIES FOR FURTHER GROWTH

THROUGH THIS CONCEPT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO REPEAT THE CHALLENGE ALSO IN OTHER SCHOOLS AND HELP THE WHOLE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF SOME FACTORS, AS WELLNESS, ENVIRONMENT, FOOD, GROWTH

OUR SOLUTION IS INNOVATIVE BECAUSE TO BUILD A PILOT PLANT IN A SCHOOL IN KENYA IS A NEW IDEA. TO HELP 700 CHILDREN IN THE SAME PLACE IS VERY IMPORTANT AND INNOVATIVE. THIS ISN'T A MEDICINE THAT THE CHILDREN REFUSE IT IS INTEGRATED WITH THE FOOD THAT EVERY DAY THE CHILDREN EAT. IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE TASTE FOR THIS RASON THE CHILDREN WILL TAKE IT. 

THIS IDEA CAN DEVELP AND TO BECOME A PRODUCTION IN LARGE SCALE.

WE ARE GIVING ISTRUCTIONS FOR PRODUCTION AND IT MAY BE SOME PERSONS CAN BE INTERESTED AND TO OPEN A START UP SO IT CAN BE A WIDE CONSUMPTION PRODUCT AND FIN A LOCATION IN THE KENIAN MARKET BOTH AS FOOD SUPPLEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANTI-POLLUTION AND AS BIOMASS AND COSMETIC

MY SOLUTION IS DIFFUSED IN ALL THE WORLD AS CULTIVATION AND  MICROALGAE PRODUCTION 

700 CHILDREN OF THE SCHOOL IN A YEAR

3.500 CHILDREN IN FIVE YEARS

THE GOALS ARE TWO: 

 Zero Hunger

 Good Health and Well-being

Zero Hunger - Indicators are 700 children of the school , their progress and impact measurable trhough 

1) meetings with parents about the quality of life of their children

2) presence at school of the children

Good Health and Well being

1) the children will change the habits and they can have the basic elements, vitamins, proteins that will product effects on the health and well being

2) the cultivation will purify the environment with results measurable trhough less respiratory deseases and presence at school

The indicators are the number of meetings with teachers and parents, the number of students present at school on the registers of classrooms, the number of controls of sanitary personal 

FULL TIME : 2 

PART TIME : 8

OTHER      : 5

OUT TEAM IS WORKING ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF HUNGER AND THE CLEAN ATMOSPHERE FOR THE HEALTH IN THE POOR COUNTRIES.

WE ARE WORKING IN KENYA SINCE 12 YEARS, WE STARTED WITH A PARTENARIAT WITH A PRIMARY SCHOOL , THEN WE HAVE REALIZED A TANK 10.000 LITRES FOR THE WATER.

THROUGH EVENTS IN ITALY WE HAVE CREATED THE SENSIBILIZATION OF MANY PERSONS SO WE HAVE HAD FUNDS TO GIVE TO SCHOOL THAT IT ASKED.

WE HAVE HELPED THE POOREST CHILDREN THROUGH THE REMOTE ADOPTION.

ALL THE TEAM IS COLLABORATING TO REMOTE ADOPTIONS AND MANY CHILDREN ARE RECEIVING EVERY MONTH OUR ECONOMIC HELP

I LOVE MY TEAM . THEY ARE VERY DISPONIBLE WHEN I CALL FOR SOME NECESSITY. THEY ARE TEACHERS, FUNCIONAIRRES, PSICOLOGIST, SOCIOLOGIST, NUTRITIONIST, SOCIAL WORKER, JOURNALIST

THEY ARE VERY SENSIBLE TO OUR AIMS, EVERY YEAR WE ORGANIZE AN EVENT OF BENEFICENCE AND THEY GIVE THEIR COLLABORATION VERY WELL IN THE COLLECT THE FUNDS. 

SOME OF THEIR HAVE ADOPTED THE CHILDREN OF THE SCHOOL KINGEERO AND WE ARE VERY CAREFUL TO ASK AND TO HAVE INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE CHILDREN IN REMOTE ADOPTIONS. 

WE NEED OF SOLVE BECAUSE THIS IS A CHALLENGE TO SOLVE. IT TURNS ON TWO ELEMENTS: FEEDING AND ENVIRONMENT

WE CAN'T OVERCOME ALONE THIS CHALLENGE, IT IS A MONDIAL CHALLENGE AND WE NEED OF A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND GREAT KNOWLEDGE ONLY SOLE CAN HELP US.

THE BARRIERS ARE CULTURAL AND WE CAN OVERCOME BY THE SCHOOL, BY INFORMATION COMPAIGN, BY PARTNERSHIP WITH INSTITUTIONS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE

FINANCIAL BECAUSE EACH ENTERPRISE IDEA NEED OF FINANCIAL SUBSTAIN. THIS IS A LITTLE FACTORY BUT ITS DEVELOP AND ITS MECHANISM ISN'T DIFFERENT FROM A GREAT FACTORY.

PUBLIC RELATIONS BECAUSE HERE THERE IS A CHANGE OF MENTALITY REGARDING THE FOOD AND REGARDING THE ENVIRONMENT. WE WANT EXPLAIN THAT THE FOOD IS GOOD WHEN IT CONTENTS BASIC ELEMENTS NUTRITIONAL. SO IF THE FOOD MISS OF THEM WE NEED TO INTEGRATE. THIS CAN BE MADE THROUGH MEETINGS, EVENTS, SOCIAL MEDIA

PRODUCT/ DISTRIBUTION BECAUSE THE MARKET OF ALGA SPIRULINA IS GROWING, IT IS REQUERED BY FARMACEUTICAL HOUSES, COSMETICS, ENERGY, FOR CLEANING THE WASTE WATER, IN NUTRACEUTICS

WE LIKE TO HAVE PARTNERSHIP WITH PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, UNIVERSITY, MEDICINE DOCTORS, HOSPITAL, CLINICS, OTHER SCHOOLS BUT ALSO COMMUNITIES, VILLAGES, RADIO, TELEVISION

THE MEDIA CAN HELP TO DISSEMINATE THE RESULTS OF CHALLENGE

THE UNIVERSITY CAN MAKE A RESEARCH ABOUT THE BENEFIC EFFORTS OF ALGAE

THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS CAN ORGANIZE CONFERENCES AND TO ACCEPT FOR FUTURE THIS CHALLENGE

HOSPITAL AND CLINICS CAN TASTE IN THE DIET OF HILLS

THE COMMUNITIES WILL EMPROVE THE ATTENTION FOR THE CHILDREN AND FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE NEW INFORMATIONS

IN THE SCHOOL PARTNER OF THIS CHALLENGE, WHERE WILL BE BUILT THE LITTLE PLANT, THE CHILDREN HAVE OFTEN MOTHERS NOT FATHERS. THE MOTHERS OFTEN ARE SINGLE NO HUSBAND SO THEY CAN FIND ALSO AN OCCUPATION AND THEY CAN DEVELOP IN COOPERATIVE OR INDIVIDUAL THEIR BUSINESS LEARNING THE TECHNOLOGIES SO THEY CAN LEARN HOW TO CULTIVATE, HOW TO PRODUCT, HOW PACK UP, HOW TO SELL

THE ALGAE ARE USEFUL TO CARBON ABSORPTION AND DECARBONIZATION. THEY PURIFY THE ENVIRONMENT AND THEY HAVE A BASIC ROLE IN WATER CLEANING. IN THE WORLD SOME PROJECTS WITH USE OF ALGAE ARE ESSENTIALS FOR WASTE WATER PURIFICATION , FOR PRODUCTION OF BIOMASS IN CIRCULAR ECONOMY
