We are building low-cost open source air quality sensors to support with monitoring of air quality in African cities. The project initially started off with funding from the Open Knowledge Foundation, with support from the Open data Collaboration fund. It seeks to provide a solution on air quality standards in many African Cities, while tapping into other communities of like-minded initiatives. Currently, we are now part of the Sensors.Africa Community initiated by Code for Africa.
