our documentary series displaced depicts traumatic humanitarian crises from around the world to. forgetting we don't have the mental i didn't go to university to kill people the fact that a alya pain. people feel for their lives and their future so they seek refuge abroad but what will become of us who stay behind to. just waste this week on g.w. . in northern sudan for centuries people have lived in this area region eking out a modest living despite all odds but it is being buried under more and more sand blowing off or sorry. residents of this village trying to protect back home

but it's an uphill battle. and it is a duck i think if you dig down 3 or 4 metres you'll find the house. they live in the well is down there to. the house is totally covered. and that's the rule for. some families have built 3 more stories on top of their original homes in less than 20 years everybody is battling the sand. there with their i think that while they would it started with this crack the entire wall could collapse these wooden joists are all that's keeping the house together i had to move into the new house over there.

a number of villages have moved away those still here don't know where to go fertile land is scarce in sudan no one expects any help from the government in the distant capital khartoum. and there we are the forgotten people life is hard in these parts of. the desert is also taking over entire tracts of farmland. this is the plantation of our one mohamed al hussein he moved here with his family 15 years ago. this is. 3 of the mongol is the height of 4 to 5 meter is all of the 4 metre. by the sun. like this a 3rd. maybe it is a myth early thrill of the. he also grows palm trees and has already

lost $500.00 of them to the sand the rest will also soon be buried. at the head hard to maintain them. it's hard to water them you need to use a lot of water for it to reach the roots at a depth of 3 metres. at some point you just feel desperate. and he's one of countless farmers have acted about 70 percent of our bull land in sudan is in danger of being swallowed up by the desert. and the region is frequently present by sandstorms known as haboobs.

lin was valid because. he was sure he. threw back the bombo in the face of. them about their welcome or how many of the loud and engineer hakim. the 2 men want to plant trees to try to hold back the sand with the help of drums and i think you have 3 minutes the stages the ones. over the rubble but we're developing smart systems and bots capable of going to remote areas that are hard to reach by truck or on foot in order to plant seeds from the air. our projects sap smart agriculture pilot will be the 1st airborne system in the world and it will be made in sudan it will plant seeds of acacia trees. the t.v.

show mash through i are lousy young people to showcase their business ideas unlike similar shows in western countries mash roy ends to make a serious contribution to socio economic development. your presentation was comprehensive and speaks for itself and i congratulate you on your immense effort. it shows that for young people in sudan there are no limits to hope. and. a car to the capital of sudan it's been a year since mohammed and her team won 1st prize on mushroom i brought them a 1000 euros a lot of attention and new contacts now they're working hard on finishing their prototype drone. that would.

be using these bodies or to pick a show. since from the sky with this they know it took over a wide area and all of the village. houses so we can stop the movie. good locations are well suited to the task because they grow deep and extensive roots that bind sand and soil and help make it fur time again. electromechanical but. this device in the market. in many other regions of the world it would be easy to find the parts you need to build a drone but in sudan it's a huge challenge. we can buy or sell anything and that's was technology. nothing nothing comes must and it's.

so. off to you or something like that to bring everything you need we can get help from the 3rd national organization because we are into that that's for danny wright is going to show. you are being classified us to today's. team and mohammed are off to test friday a drone in the countryside. there is implying my mind. it's hard to get. by the end of the day it's just a test. every time that it will crash more than those of the. very latest as i. am a big business thank god. the 2 inventors have been

working on the project weekends and evenings for more than 5 years by profession actually i.t. specialist. it's windy so the conditions for a maiden flight are far from perfect. be . a good system it's not easy. to eat. the. you know. it's not completely destroyed.

back encounter. at the edge of the city of the headquarters of c.t.c. sudan's largest and grow chemicals company this is where the final selection round is taking place for the latest series of. 24 out of a 1000 applicants have made it this far they have thought up all kinds of projects ranging from an electronic health care card to sustainable textile production. made i mean up the teeth the president of c.t.c. set up a televised contest together with the sudanese young businessman's association and the british council. to come up with that if you voted for and that was and that the whole concept of entrepreneurship at that time was not

a known concept and was not one that was at all encouraged so culturally. being entrepreneurial is not part of the sudanese culture no mother you know would tell her son or daughter over daughter i want you to go and start the for a company and fail to never it's like study be a doctor be a lawyer be an engineer if you family and all these all the work going to do then maybe you can go and start at the. at the beginning it was unclear if anybody would be interested in a show like mash arroyo. but really from missouri one it was amazing to was not only what about 5000 participants 55000 applicants in missionary one but then the engagement once it started to go live on t.v. imo social media. you know every one from that person's area or region would be watching and voting and they got so engaged was leaning towards the wildest luden

think it would be like this. in fact national or has become the most popular t.v. show in sudan. globally khartoum ranks among the cities with the poorest quality of life it has a population of between 6 and 8w2w of them are people displaced from their home regions because of desertification of the civil war. 60 percent of the country's population are under 30 years of age. many of them don't have any steady employment and try to get by doing odd jobs. whether young or old rich or poor almost everybody in khartoum knows mash through i

am. alive and i go home as a result of the devil in the show inspires you to work on your ideas in education and plans and to make something of yourself rather than just work for somebody else it is how it is young people of mind i wish there were more shows like it because the younger generation are in a sorry state they have a lot to offer they just need some help getting started. on the work. i am one of the people who have been inspired by my choice of it and they gave me a great push. i want to launch a project that's unique in sudan. and i want to win a trip to london and that's what it is and i know that's what everybody here dreams of a lend them couple yourselves with the need. to make entrepreneurial dreams a reality is far from easy in sudan the government offers no grant so other kinds

of support for startups mash drawing tries to fill the gap it offers candidates workshops on issues such as funding planning and marketing. she's thinking about reaching the small farmers for example so to me that's called farm and most of them they don't know that acknowledge it and they don't have t.v. so what she thought about we thought about you know the radio will be one of the towers that we can use him to reach them. the question is if you're the founder customer who does the farmer trust a former prosecutor who already fired fertilizer from. the can you identify the people who are already buying rivers of from. and if you convince them they will sell to the farmer on your behalf the people attending the workshops here are much more passionate the really want to learn. they're very enthusiastic

a lot of questions they want to talk about it's a lot of i compare it to be like a sponge and they want to treat it as much water as possible. from your food. the candidates might be very keen but few have any background in economics on management. i thought that a boom i'm going to make my project and be happy and everybody goes home and but i . shall be a lot of numbers and procedures business plans and goals and there are those days shocking i learned a lot actually. the marketing i never heard the voice i mean i never read that was there before i destroyed. so that was. a really big good benefit for the. exchange standby life but surely i'm going to have nothing to do his business but when i take these lectures there used to be clear i

know how to put my my plan my business done and hired do with my budget i know how to turn it. off and this. smash it all is not only about supporting entrepreneurship it also focuses on responsibility and making a positive contribution to society. through the traditional way the wish to bring the kids to africa thing here is for money go and do it is not sustainable because once the money runs out the project stops or there is exhaustion from the west people who are fed up of giving money to africa we need to teach the africans to look after themselves. we're now near the white nile and the south of sudan a world away from counter. summer

was the winner of the 1st season of. 2014. it's not normal for a gear lady to get them to came into this area out is that since cane i'm not saying it the moon is now it's become for me at the bench where they are in a very massive area that's all it's happening and i can't see any ladies around so . i'm the only crazy lady who is moving around the. county normally wants him. keisha training for women in khartoum but when she heard about a plague of want to hyacinths on the nile she decided to try to do something about it. let me laugh. it out that's going to. be very interesting because last time we

were in the blood and i even thought that they have to go under the water difficult . i'm really appreciate you being pregnant but. water hyacinths were introduced to saddam in the 19th century as an ornamental pool plant they have since become an uncontrollable past. these 1000 was present lack of fund there it's really growing very fast you can imagine that in one week this plant would multiply the 25 it's locking there are a day she says seems to you and that was going to release and even the fisherman cannot easily catch fish it's a good environment for mosquitoes that part aside was living inside the woods oh yeah it's kind of a nightmare for the people the. attempts to cut down the spread of water hyacinths half so far failed even weed killers were simply absorbed by the plant.

some oligarchy had the idea of using them as a free resource to make decorative items back some small pieces of furniture out of their stamps. i think this is the unique about my business that you don't need as kind of prizes. and it can leave very sensible forces can come to life so that. you can see that i'm using such kind of a normal kind of tools you have to go for it kind of felt advance for example it's tools i'm just using a caesar's and not want to spread out and you know even if you don't haave then you can just play with your hand so it's kind of easy way i mean this is pushing people people who doesn't have a huge capital decide the business. for now or she makes the items herself at home in her free time.

some a al-ghamdi sells her products on the internet and at a small shop. here some of the new things are made that they should be on display here. that i want to miss can we make some space for them i can set them up for you to come out of here. a quarter of the contestants on mash or on our women and that mark something of a revolution and sue down just a few years ago young women were still expected to marry and raise a family going to college or setting up

a business was practically unheard of measure oil is contributing to a change in social norms and the advancement of women. we are living now in a kind of the condition that we need the cooperation between we as women. for the bitterness any woman who was young i used to live you know when women now are very aware of their rights they are looking forward to the kids what they want from the life you can see us we are part of so the news that we man and we are proud of that actually. many women have reached out to the t.v. contest winner to tell her she has been a source of inspiration among them a young woman who wanted to drop out of school. after he was mature as she watched my journey doing that so i she says decided that he'll have to go further outside the kitchen she won't even to go for the 4 how monster degree he went all the all

the problem on the list of those that he faced with her family i think there are there were against how growing fell then how did you kishen and they were allowed to give up the range of memories were hiding for my cousin or someone. may have opens new horizons turning a vision into reality remains a challenge for team and mohammed to been trying for months to get a permit to deploy their drones even as the desert keeps advancing like here my trees have been planted as part of the great. the wall project. the green belt was a battle by that so that if you get. stronger every single point every single day.

another problem for the team and mohamed is failing to find an investor to back fan project despite their trial match arroyo in sedan startups can't get funding either from the government or from banks still the 2 want to keep trying. sometimes we feel like we have to give up to. be a lot of them all. but when we when we are going to be able. we are by. and watch somebody i was facing the challenge is to face. all they are in the fault line every day facing this to be. get with us we have to dig in uganda. gardy has not been able to expand her business either due to the still fragile state of a sudanese economy. many factors want to stop to operate due to these sanctions we

cannot even get access to even information sometimes when you get into our website he said it was information that the country so you can imagine how we are suffering . meanwhile candidates for the latest series of the show are hoping to make it into the final 12. this team wants to develop an iris scan as a diagnostic tool. i am not among those chosen by the jury to appear on the show some are gardy has come to cheer on the candidates and in this case to offer consolation and encouragement. don't be upset. just

keep working on your project. the jury said you should carry on after the contest is over the back while mossad from the british council has spent weeks working with the candidate some have projects. the foreigners to reach this point out of sauza a sawzall i became. i wish him the 1st that i hold up that begins anew they all work those old bottle almost that actually this days commuters suffer this is. that the c 4 or 4 the new generation. of several dozen startups have involved with the help of mash. but for the seeds of hope to sprout and flourish and saddam people will need more than one t.v. show the bomb.
