A gamified waste collection system where youth compete to fuel their communities
PooPult empowers African communities to turn hippo dung into clean cooking fuel through solar-powered pneumatic tubes. Youth compete to collect waste and launch it into biogas digesters, reducing river pollution while creating sustainable energy.
Join the Movement 🚀A group of teenagers rush to the riverbank at dawn, high-fiving as they load hippo dung into the glowing PooPult chamber. They watch the canister rocket through the air in a perfect arc into the biogas tank, while the app dings: "+500 points, you just created 2 hours of cooking fuel for your family - and saved 50 meters of river from hippo pollution." The leaderboard updates: they're now #3 in their village, with a real-world impact metric scrolling: "This month: 47 families cooking free, 0 hippo attacks, 1.2 km of protected riverbank."
