CAW03 - Exchanging recyclables for health insurance premium

Soso Care is a leading emerging micro mobile health insurance start-up in Nigeria using innovative approach to bring health insurance to millions of people who never had it before by enabling them to pay for a health insurance with recyclable waste in.

This social enterprise is driven by a dual cause: supporting an underserved population by aiding the environmental cause as well. The proposed challenge is based on an optimisation problem.

The objective of Soso Care’s Hackathon challenge is to use the available demographics and plastic data in Nigeria to optimise locations of waste management centres so that they are situated in areas with the biggest chances of recyclable waste being brought to the centre. This analysis must consider plastic waste location as well as demographics (population, education, health…). The output must be visual and clearly explain the choices for locations.
