but it's an uphill battle. and it is a tough i think if you dig down 3 or 4 metres you'll find the house. or 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. 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 and so down 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 own mohammed al hussein he moved here with his family 15 years ago. this is. 3 of the mango trees the height of 4 to 5 meter is all of the form of a. son. like this a 3rd. like that maybe it is a myth early thrill of the governor. 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 the arab land in sudan is in danger of being swallowed up by the desert. and the region is frequently presented by sandstorms known as haboobs.

little ones like that because. he was sure he. true but no one was so. welcome mohamed up to lao 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 aims to make a serious contribution to socio economic development. and. your presentation was comprehensive and speaks for itself. 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 it brought them a 1000 euros a lot of attention and new contacts now they're working hard on finishing their prototype drone. yes that would.

be using. certification. the. scenes from the sky with this plane or over a wide range of the area are all of the village. houses so. moving. and well suited to the task because they grow deep and extensive roots that bind sand and soil and help make it photon again. electromechanical but. if we can't find 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 about swastik ology. nothing go out with nothing coming must anything. so.

poverty or something like that to bring everything we need we can get help slumpy of national organization because we are into that for that i mean that really is country shall. we are being lied classified us to today's. the team and mohammed merah to testify their drone in the countryside. there is implying i mind. it's hard to get. by the end of the day it's just a test you never know that it will crash more than those of the good and very latest example. i'm a big business guy called my mom. the 2 inventors have been

working on the project weekends and evenings for more than 5 years by profession better actually i.t. specialist. it's windy so the conditions for a maiden flight are far from perfect. me . because. it's nothing. maybe. going to go you believe in. you know. if it's not completely destroyed.

back in concert. 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 natural law in. 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 text on production. made i mean up there latif 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 bobby rush right now with the money the whole concept of entrepreneurship at that time was not

a known concept and was not one that was a tall in college so culturally. being entrepreneurial is not part of the sudanese culture no mother you know would tell her son or daughter all daughter i want you to go and does the for a company and fail to never it's like study be a doctor be a lawyer be an engineer if you fail in all these all day what can we do then maybe you can go and start them but. at the beginning it wasn't clear if anybody would be interested in a show like mash or a lawyer. but really from missouri one it was amazing to us not only what about it was 5000 participants 55000 applicants a missionary one but then the engagement once it started to go live on t.v. and also show me the. you know every one from that person's area or region would be watching and voting and they've also engaged goodwill it was all while it is losing

to feel like this. but in fact national oil 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 . live it i go miserable and with the devil in the show inspires you to work on

your ideas and education and plans and to make something of yourself rather than just work for somebody else. it hurts young people a lot 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 that. i am one of the people who have been inspired by my choice of it 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 lull in the couple of danny. to make entrepreneurial dreams a reality is far from easy in sudan the government offers no ground 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 going down to so doing this cause famine 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 towns that we can use him to reach them. the question is if you understand your customer who does the farmer frost before work cross people they're already buying fertilizer from. so can you identify the people who are already buying for those who are from. and if you convince them they will go to the farmer on your behalf the people who are tending their workshops here much more passionate the really want to learn. they're very enthusiastic

a lot of questions they want to talk about it a lot and i compare it to being 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 think that a boom i'm going to make my project and be happy and everybody goes home back and i . was shut down a lot of numbers and procedures business plans and goals and whatever those days shocking i learned a lot actually. the market in i never heard the word i mean never read that was before i inferred destroyed. so that's was. a really big good benefit for. change change my life but sure i'm a doctor i have nothing to lose business but when i take these lectures they used to be clear i know how to put my my plan my business done i know how to put my

budget i know how to turn it. off and this. mushroom is not only about supporting entrepreneurship it also focuses on responsibility and making a positive contribution to society. for the traditional way of the wish to bring the kids to africa saying here's some money go or do it is not sustainable because once the money runs out the project stops or there is a social from the west people who are fed up of giving money to offer we needed to teach the africans to look after themselves. we're now near the white nile and the south of sudan a world away from khartoum. was

the winner of the 1st season of national oil in early 2014. it's not normal for a nearly 82 with them to come into this area is that it's cane i'm not saying it's a business now it's become for me as the main share the island of a massive area that's all it's happening and i can't see any babies around so. i'm the only crazy there you is moving around. normally works in. keisha training for women in comp too 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. that. was very interesting because last time

we were in the book and i even thought that they have to go on the boards are difficult. i'm really appreciate you being kind but. hyacinths were introduced to saddam in the 19th century as an ornamental pool plant they have since become an uncontrollable past. these were going to spread like a thunder and it's really growing very fast you can imagine that in one week this plant would multiply the 25 it's looking very good senses team spirit and that was going to move freely and even though the fisherman cannot easily catch fish it's a good environment for most kids songs on either part of sides was maybe inside the woods oh yeah it's kind of a nightmare for the people the. attempts to cut town the spread of water hyacinth so far failed even weed killers were simply absorbed by the plant.

some are gobby had the idea of using them as a free resource to make decorative items bags and small pieces of furniture out of their stamps. i think this is the unique about my business that you don't need as a kind of high school is you can't leave very suitable 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 advise for example it's tools i'm. misusers. what is free and you even if you don't hardly you can just play with your hands so. easy way you mean especially for people who doesn't have a huge cabbage does decide to be the news. for now or she makes the items herself at home in her free time.

guardian's sells her products on the internet and at a small shop. here some of the new things are made. and they should be on display here. that i would think is can we make some space for them i can set them up for you cannot obtain. 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 owing is contributing to a change in social norms and the advancement of women. we are living now in a came up on this in that we need the cooperation between we as women and the main bitterness any woman. in the us all yeah i guess ladies you know women now are very aware of their rights they are looking forward to it's what they want from the life you can see us we are part of the new we're 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 hugh was maturing early she was my journey during that time she just decided that i'd have to go further out higher education she won't even go for the 4 how mustard degree she went all the

all the problem on the bus to go that he faced with her family i think there there were again is how growing fell then how did you feel and they were about to give her the arrange of marriage for high before i was in with someone. while national i may have opens new horizons turning a vision into reality remains a challenge the 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 green wall project. team. lose a battle right there so that if you. destroy it every single point every single 30.

another problem for the team and mohamed is failing to find an investor to back them project despite their triumph on masher oil into down startups can't get funding either from the government or from banks. the 2 want to keep trying. sometimes we feel like we have to give up. here a lot of them all. but when to me when we. we are by. and who are somewhat of a welfare seeing the jelling face to face. or they are in line every day there's investigation that will be with us we have to take them you don't do. some armed guard he has not been able to expand her business either due to the still fragile state of a sudanese economy. many factors were just up to operate due to these sanctions we

cannot even get absence to even information sometimes when you get into a website it's not 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 teen 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. while most up from the british council has spent weeks working with a candidate song that projects. winners to reach this point out of sauza a sawzall i became. i wish him the best and i hope that they continue their work so soulful model albums that i actually this days commuters suffer this is. that the c 4 or the new generation of. several dozen startups have been launched with the help of matter on but for the seeds of hope to sprout in flourish and saddam people will need more than one t.v. show.
