ABOUT US

EKCÖLAB is a youth-led international organisation. Our organisation is based on research, finding problems at local community levels and bringing out solutions that will positively impact our environment. We are concern with the well-being of people and their communities to make sure that their quality of drinking water meets WHO (World Health Organization) standards for potable water as well as finding possible mitigation and adaptation strategies toward climate change impacts on water resources and biodiversity.

​

This is done by strictly monitoring their drinking water sources and regularly other sources of water for domestic use for possible route of contamination and to protect it, organizing climate action agenda, sustainable water management in arid and semi-arid regions and reducing gas emission.

​

The organization's core area of interest are;

• WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) Analysis and Implementation

• Environmental monitoring and Impact Assessment

• Water quality testing and analysis

• Climate Change, Food Insecurity and Water Security

• Water and Environmental Education

• Youth and community empowerment and development

• Waste Management and Community Health Analysis

​

We are represented in eight different countries (Cameroon, Nigeria, Malawi, Pakistan, Kenya, Zambia, Uganda and Rwanda) and still growing. Our members are young researchers such as university freshmen, young graduates and young professional workers in the field of water and environment.
