icyi forecast has received the following awards and nominations. Way to go!
The name of this web app "ICYI" was inspired by the Kinyarwanda word meaning long dry season.
This project will address 3 main challenges;
Government can help protect vulnerable living in slums by knowing months ahead of time that there will be heavy rains that can destroy their shelter and livelihood.
Furthermore, governments can plan head for their budget to assist vulnerable citizens are relocate them somewhere else, if need be. This will avoid deaths and economic inequality.
This web app will help farmers and anyone else involved in the agriculture sector to optimize their yield. By knowing ahead of time when heavy rains will come, farmers can know when to harvest and plan accordingly for the year.
When people are in the construction line of work, it is important for them to know when heavy rains will come so they can avoid their work to be flooded. This tool will help them to plan for their timeline of when they need to build a firm foundation so they can save cost and ensure their construction plan comes to order.
Using UI/UX tools such as Adobe, I designed sketch diagrams of how the user experience would look like for the 3 different purposes that is Habitat, Agriculture & Construction.
