Meet the 2018 GPS Challenge First Runner-Up: Flux

Growing up in Kenya, the Ruto brothers couldn’t recall ever having a consistent water supply. Ken and Denis would often go days and weeks without running water, as over 50% of Kenya’s water resources are lost to theft, corruption, or leakage in the aging analog systems. Like other families, they’d buy water from unscreened sources, which was not only expensive but potentially dangerous. The Kenyan government has had no way to track these water losses, which is where Denis and Ken formed the idea for their innovation, Flux.
