Disaster Response
Mapping and spraying mosquito breeding sites
Kenya End Malaria Council
Context
A collaboration with the Kenya End Malaria Council, spanning multiple counties, to control malaria spread at its source.
Challenge
Controlling malaria spread by locating and treating mosquito-breeding sites across wide, often hard-to-access terrain.
Approach
Advanced mapping drones identified and mapped potential breeding sites to inform treatment planning. Spraying drones, with flexible flight planning, then administered specialised control chemicals directly over the identified sites.
Results
What it achieved.
Significant reduction in mosquito breeding and malaria spread
Greater coverage than ground teams, with a smaller, more streamlined team structure
Safer access to hazardous or hard-to-reach locations
Consistent, repeatable application across every site
