Clean Air One Atmosphere (CAOA) is a non-profit organization founded by Collins Gameli Hodoli in 2017. Their mission is to improve the air quality in Ghana and other African cities by filling in the gaps in air quality data and research, while also focusing on educational and communication initiatives.
