During the first week of March, programme manager Titia Wouters visited Benin. She was joined by senior water experts Jan Spit and Joop de Schutter, and they amongst others visited the VIA Water projects in the country. One of those is Green Keeper Africa, which is developing a fibre that can absorb oil spills out of water hyacinths. Jan Spit decided to create a cartoon out of the photographs he took during the site visit: you can find it in the PDF attachment below. More information about the project: https://www.viawater.nl/projects/green-keeper-africa-benin.
