Lokai partnered with charity:water to bring awareness about the water issues in Africa, but instead of the usual tactics and sombre angle, a more relatable approach was chosen, creating a real sense of human connection.

Yeshi represents millions of young African women who walk for hours daily to collect water.

Built for Facebook Messenger, Walk With Yeshi takes individuals on a 2.5 hour journey, matching the length of the average walk for water.

Keep her company and see what she sees, hear her footsteps, listen to music from her village and learn the wisdom of her hardships.
