Mobo Game Jam is a global game-making challenge brought to you by Kucheza Gaming, Edu360, WaterAid and Ukie education’s Digital Schoolhouse and Into Games.

Games have the power to tell stories, solve problems and inspire change - how would you harness this power to create a future where everyone has access to clean water?

HOW IT WORKS

This year, we’ve all experienced uncertainty - for the world’s poorest people, this can mean access to safe drinking water . With our climate rapidly changing, clean water on tap isn’t a given for many.

THE BRIEF

Create a short game or game idea that fits the below brief, and showcase it in a video submission that is no longer than two minutes. You can use in-game footage, designs you have made, or a paper prototype.

This year, we've all experienced fear and uncertainty. No one knows what’s next. But no matter what life throws at us, we all need to rely on clean water. Our changing climate is already affecting our access to this vital resource, most of all for the world's poorest people. Now more than ever, we need to start thinking about how we ensure that everyone, everywhere has access to clean water.

785 million people in the world – one in ten – do not have clean water close to home. 40% of these people live in sub-Saharan Africa.

With clean water on tap, people's lives and livelihoods are protected. They can meet their basic needs, stay safe and healthy, and work together to support themselves. Games have the power to tell stories, solve problems and inspire change  - how would you harness this power to create a future where everyone has access to clean water?
