Thabiso Letlala

If you need your car washed in Cape Town, soon a crew might come to where you are and bring everything they need, except for one thing: water. Thabiso, a young changemaker from South Africa, is developing an on-demand car cleaning service that uses eco-friendly, biodegradable products, and no water. To book, all you need to do is log in to an online platform or app and choose your preferred time and place. AVA Clean will conserve water in a city where severe shortages due to droughts are ever more common, and reduce the use of harmful chemicals as well. What’s more: Thabiso’s sustainable, convenient service will create employment opportunities for students, empowering the young and boosting economic growth. He can’t wait to launch his pilot at the University of Cape Town.
