Origin

Every rainy season in Ghana, the same cycle repeats. Drains get choked with waste. Rain falls. Water has nowhere to go. Homes flood. Markets flood. Lives are lost. And every year, we respond the same way — after the damage is done. DrainWatch breaks that cycle. It starts with a simple action: someone sees a blocked drain, pulls out their phone, snaps a photo, and the app captures the location automatically. That report goes live on a map for anyone to see. Then a sponsor steps in — a shop owner tired of flooding in front of their store, a diaspora donor watching the news from abroad, or a market association protecting their members. They pick a drain, fund the clearing job, and the money moves through Moolre's payment system into a secure hold. It doesn't go into a general pool. It goes to that specific drain. A verified worker nearby picks up the job. They clear the drain. They take a photo of the work done. The sponsor sees the proof and approves it. The money lands in the worker's mobile money wallet instantly. The drain is clear. The community is safer. One job, one drain, one verified outcome. If something goes wrong — the work wasn't done properly, the proof doesn't match — the sponsor can raise a dispute within 48 hours. A platform admin reviews the evidence and decides: release payment, partial payment, or refund. Every step is documented. Every transaction has a reference. Nothing disappears. DrainWatch isn't about responding to floods. It's about preventing them — one drain at a time, one verified job at a time, with every cedi accounted for.
