Our Story

While visiting my family in Accra, Ghana, I — Leslie Noye, co-founder of FloodNavigator — experienced what residents face during the rainy season. Each day brought rain, and with it, flooded roads. When my mom needed to go to the store, she called her friends living along the way to check if the roads were clear. If the rain persisted, my mom sent me down the hill on foot to assess the rising water level and gauge if we needed to prepare our home. On my second trip down the hill, I wondered aloud to my neighbor making the same trek, “Why don’t we have an app for this?” 

That’s when FloodNavigator was born.
