EcoLafaek
The crocodile that guards Timor-Leste
An AI-powered waste management system connecting citizens, authorities, and technology to combat waste challenges in Timor-Leste.
EcoLafaek aims to address Timor-Leste's waste management challenges through innovative technology, community engagement, and data-driven decision-making.
Díli produces over 300 tons of waste daily, with more than 100 tons going uncollected. This waste clogs drainage systems, causing flooding and environmental damage.
Our vision is a cleaner Timor-Leste where communities are empowered to report waste issues, authorities have the data they need to prioritize cleanup efforts, and environmental health improves.
Citizens use our Flutter-based mobile app to report waste with photos and location data. The app works in low-connectivity environments.
Our system processes waste images using Amazon Nova-Pro to classify waste types, assess severity, and evaluate environmental impact.
Data is used to prioritize cleanup efforts, directing resources to critical areas. The system tracks progress from report to resolution.
Our web dashboard provides visualizations of waste data, including interactive maps, analytics, and community leaderboards.
Visual representation of waste incidents and hotspots across Timor-Leste with detailed filtering and spatial clustering.
Amazon Nova-Pro integration for waste classification, severity assessment, and environmental impact evaluation.
Citizen participation through mobile app reporting and gamified leaderboards to encourage involvement.
