a difference so i am a caring creative because i have a story that mirror my society is the relates to the stories that i write therefore i was. going to have. so creative nancy come up with a life for sexual health. nuns he sets off on a research trip. she's heading northeast towards johannesburg a city where it's been estimated that about $100.00. posts here. and then soweto despite the poverty 99100 households have access to a mobile phone. she wants to find out if a life up could help with issues like aids teenage pregnancy and other sexual health issues. it won't prove easy. so i'm trying to find out you know by now

what are some of the things that a bank would want and says from the phone sabo that's house who needs it why why you have to sleep me with the. money that led to good things when i was a big assembly. i meant that you gave me a good time at the point of words of what to do to demand when you when you can't do it not the idea that you know this and that ideas that you you're getting to know the person you're getting to know maybe it's not even a conscious decision the ordinal decision indaba the women he meets researching up i little more helpful than a lot of it all somehow infected or affected by serious viruses that comes through social. engagement on this then so with that said sypher especially with young people is a noble teenage pregnancy is high beside clearly people don't don't protect or don't use protection or don't see the need to use protection why is that like it's

not like us until we say see right now because the things we like teenage pregnancy were to be artificial and to misspeak this is b.s. i say show yeah maybe read you'd. like to help my son while you go see need guidance of a creator to have. a life i could offer guidance on sexual health the question is how many you have you know and for inspiration none of the steps in my local internet cafe to say how can i help you tune in and surrounded by computer literate kids nuns he knows they now access the internet through smartphones as well as laptops and internet cafes many young people still use s.m.s. or text messaging nun's he wants to know what's the best way of building a sexual health crisis how can one actually build the application that would best meets your requirements is the way you see

a twin it comes to you 6 when it comes to health when it comes to excess of information in that regard traditionally you know and then some as you took the train to pick it is nancy's got lucky. the cafe owner is trying to develop an app that collects text messages about sexual health and lets people share them it. goes to people so you can create. a mobile application for the whole community sure you know so that showing it can be able to manage its own health issues you know it can see how many. people who have went through this how many people to conclude you know how many people are getting better show there one of those kind of thing is by by the whole community not only health care system called blown away santa sables idea is to help spread health information by a kind of electronic word of mouth. nancy thinks his idea could form the basis of

our own life communicating sexual health messages but there's a long way to go so let's connect will skype and then we can take this conversation and then just let's elaborate more on the would like to offer more bow and access to information and around i'm investing class how we can actually empower them using inform from what i was at and watch him presently doing with that whole health. show. thank you so much that i know none of these life up he's clearly going to need much more way. it's a mission she's still working on. nuns is convinced technology can empower young people not just in the developing countries but the world over. a 21st century world city close to the skyscrapers of its financial elites lies

shoreditch london's creative digital. and digital incubates up and design a heaven. it's all about young people developing new ideas making money and also doing good including with a mobile phone. right off and there's a very powerful tool i can empower people around the world and using mobile phone technology to solve problems in one's local community can be a great way to create change and one leading charity showing how mobiles can be used for good is c.d.i. the center for digital inclusion based in brazil but with a branch here in shortage 3 years on the program is called out and it's about inspiring young people to become problem solvers for getting them to think through a process of what is that problem when they look community and how can they sell their leasing man for all technology. absolute good are now working with 50000

young people across britain creating mobile social and web apps. so we're trying to create generation problem solvers and that young people can get the skills they need to actually understand what the technology is not just consuming technology that's a definitely not about money games are about solving a problem and yes there was a huge commercial industry out there tearing it up but the main thing that we advocate. is that getting young people interested in the fast place and being part of my pop come to me it's really important. absolute good sats once an hour and a working on a stop and satch out. people from ethnic minorities are 2 times more likely to be stopped by the police than white people the app documents and uploads

a user's experiences when they're stopped by the police. so i have been sourcing such before obviously coming hours telesales just next to brixton a supply of people all stopped going to databases and always for the right reason is watching around me so a lot of times i was stopped and still used to kind of fix myself this is direct proceed to the caribbean not on my even allowed to be stopped today so tonight i mean so. not having that knowledge this kind of put me in a position where i dispel a bit disempowered in that situation so the stop and search out resume trade in 2010 going to help people know what they're right so we need to stop he said by the by the piece in a quick and easy way once you downloaded that. you click into it tells you what you can do in seo why you might be stopped and searched when you can down the road or when you're in a vehicle and you've got a section for the top of the sea as well because a lot of reporters and stuff like the issues when the filming stuff yourself into

if the cost up to where you have to do it just upload your experience and that consists of basically putting your age in the authenticity of your 6 and then just like you to put in the offices but you numba you stopped and searched you in the stuff inside that number if you get one or so after that you just basically break how you feel you were treated by the offices and there's like a set criteria of questions here such as how badly do you think the reason was for the stop and search and how much respect you feel. was showing the stuff he said. and what are you doing with this to talk to your notation like using the g.p.s. . so that you still don't assume just know that 100 percent you're listening to the database and i sure experience that.

ops for good i'm now working with 400 schools across the u.k. . one of the 1st to enroll was east london central foundation girls school. peoples are shown how designing mobile phone apps can help young people to identify and solve everyday problems. and i hope is. something only phone that does one thing and one thing only really really well why is it good to be able to solve problems because you're going to face them every day an obstacle teaches you how to think of a problem in a creative way and not take it as an oh my god this is going to go could be wrong if you don't know this turns out that. creativity and imagination absolutely has no limits serves 0000 ideas or pay you can do anything with. knowledge is like gift you have to use it for the good of everyone newey

a bunch of us what's the point of having if you want to be selfish. by those who buzz about is it's available under the market its own cook with interest if you time and day as usual and they all see why it's your choice recall your reason why you need to wake up. some young people find it hard to wake up in the morning so the girls here have designed the buzz of bodies. said this is a step by step process to set up a puzzle but you. say say it time you can choose to repeat it on a on a date so maybe on weekdays and weekends you can label the alarm. and then you set a recording so anything that you'd like to do your reason to wake up after that you can choose your body this is anyone from your contact list. and you write a message. you are happy with the message you pressed say and it is a real love and you were together. for the course organizes the pupils enthusiasm

and success show how mobile phone apps can help solve problems not just in london but across the world. is a great way to empower young people for the world and all is actually about to. become the problem solvers and they can do. so let's look back at what the life of designers from across the series have achieved. in africa life said kenya. was a farmer in rural uganda. and . because. we seem to guess. the challenge was to see if a life could help william far more efficiently. that seemed life ops invited to

help william live 300 kilometers east in nairobi kenya as capital. new startup company b.t.r. has been going for just over a year kenyan film director tony who helped come up with a life outside filmed new developing his life. a mobile application for small scale farmers like window. we slowly. william didn't know how much he speciality vegetables could fetch at the biggest local markets. a minimum.

a life app to help the him by people. that was our. last and his colleagues make plenty of tax to work out how our life might be able to help these highly independence nomads. in the woman from the black community go to school. a familiar with technology but most condrey or writes down on the on the one on the yeah and among. the young as you well know when you're dealing yet a. 3rd. is the truth. then a brainwave if literacy was a problem how about an app that translates text into speech. using

simple software downloaded from the internet. initially. i left my voice. soon. very useful. oh. let me go. i don't want to go over well the knowing. that i want to. know if they go. over the. 1. 100 of. us of the book i wish i hope we take some time. just to be

2. dalton is now working on developing his app with him accents and we'll return to the north in the future. in asia life to india but the challenge to design an app was taken up by a software hot shot such. based in the capital delhi such ins goal is to use apps to help the less fortunate. my quest is to find on so to help people one living at the bottom of the economic freedom. it's such a long held ambition to help india's millions of beleaguered small scale farmers. so he undertook a 2000 kilometer journey to see for himself how he could help farmers like.

banking and my family including my london later my lover did he go into the. beginning of the day with them and they were down on him and they and. it's stories like this that make such indeterminacy use he. technological skills to help small scale farmers. we want to do something for them something for them. again yeah and sure. we're. going to foster. back in delhi sachin and his team came up with a life app which would allow farmers to spread their ideas by simply making a voice recording and uploading it's using the app so they could share it with the whole community. yeah. could you.

could have. done it. from here i want to develop this obligation make it more robust and they get through the pilots those trials and make it something you know which can be adopted nationwide. so long way to go it's just the beginning of the project. from rural india to the dramatic setting or brazil's rio de janeiro. here the life apps was eagerly accepted by software design a petrol. elephant is a match i just wish tones of. the sort of the push out of to move to a new dictator saddam all the little stools at the banquet you're going to say the

cigar. pedro's challenge was to come up with a life that could help the millions who live in the real favelas or shantytowns. i suppose. because intervened in his interview and there still seems to be all guys equal but is it. for me just that you can imagine it's a good thing the millions of fans have. realised that choosing a single life was going to be tough. it was just lovely it's the last but a chance in a life yes. they simply do that she is and being the team on the key is no one is really. together with these colleagues pedre finally settled on one daring idea. this is washington family thing is perfect so i just

kind of blockbuster they can go but you can bullshit us not because of the country to jeopardize it to them if you guys are good at you this. is a smartphone game that's allows players to plant seeds in a virtual garden and watch the virtual plants grow for every virtual plants there's a real one planted in the favelas community vegetable garden. filled with us and submitting to the vision by the daily mail the wall will sing it will do. it will sing at the. hour. pedro believes his life could change how people think about technology and life in the favelas bush trash former control of the genius of carry some weight back on of us along with us to push through to. us always him from would cause each you see sick you how it should be this nearly got.

yes ops to make money yes oh nice to play games but that's not the i mean you still see young people have a lot of talent and given the right they can help solve the problems that are happening and always given up change the say it's important. to believe in their ideas they do believe that they can actually be their problem solvers to solve their own problems and to create something that will actually help them and their community. or the life of designers in. brazil. south africa india. and kenya recession the need for a life has revealed new realities in their own countries. designers led about the lives of those who are missing out on development. made some new friends and shared some inspiring moment it's all good. no no good you
