Lumkani
Lumkani is a social enterprise with a mission to mitigate the loss of life and property caused by slum fires in South Africa and across the globe. To accomplish this Lumkani has developed and distributed our networked early warning fire detection system to over 40,000 homes in informal settlements across South Arica. Along the way it has partnered with local NGOs; international aid organizations; and corporations to reach high fire risk households. This award-winning system has been successfully reducing the spread of fires for over four years, and has limited fires from spreading beyond the first home in 71% of cases.
