like i don't go away you gotta stay with us for all time by the sound of freedom. in the 45 minutes to lose. every journey begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word published in the book. nico is in germany to learn german why not learn with him simple online on your mobile and free to sell w z learning course nikos fake german made it seem. hey there it's good to have you here on the 77 percent the show that i'm the phys the voice of off because you my name is. good to have you with us. today it's all about young africans who share your future with digital technologies and it's a special show too because we have an exciting guest joining us in the studio.

or is one of them one influential on the point he's here to talk about the to told people they've. got only find out how electronic ways to get charged into my eyes. and. little ones will show that people. so let's begin with a life or many digital devices. in gonna it's probably africa's most famous dumpsite for electronic waste one young woman decided that all it had drives sheets and all about the knots and bolts aren't just useful in oh a lot tops and mobile phones in fact but till the pain is convinced this can be turned into the jewelery and interior design. pretty cool earrings right well they're made from us these country chairs are also just like these

funky coffee temple design a painting turns trash into treasure she finds. books. site for trying to quest it's a place where old computers and keyboards wind up along with stacks of car tires the smell of burning rubber yeah a lot of people here find the trash to recover pieces of bacon. but pain it's not. she's on the luke. paresh the worst get the positives for you so we don't try to find solutions to problems or not all small ways to need to get climate change we decided to come here for we must. insist forwards. this craft yet has an army not sneak name and.

it's about the size of 20 silcock ielts which means there's plenty of material for my children to sort through but she comes to us every time so weak and these time abuse computer circuit boards have caught her i. know what's going to work with anything whether it's broken all is new or is all those threats and losses that's what we call them wasn't working on this or final chronicles for real. the 1st stage of the transformation is a good clean then the material is cut into smaller pieces. and send down to make smooth images finally matilda paint puts the finishing touches to how unique earrings. killed those projects require time and team work space is our biggest challenge we don't have a bigger space so we can alter employed more and we can do more. for us on the 2nd

one is machinery as you can see around we have just simple tools that work with what the team certainly isn't lacking in imagination that they can try on all generate electric scrap into lampshades tables or clocks and matilda paint regularly exhibits have designs at conferences objects not only i can make our eye opening to i think rather than take all this amazing stuff that all this money has been poured into and just put the. world with that why not turn in charge a lot of places across the world were having a problem with an increase in waste and like a man is in no way for getting rid of it matilda pain has won several awards. creative way of doing heartbeat for the environment and she has even bigger things planned for the company. we are looking at being able to empower

more women therefore you have to train more women to venture into what you're doing now to be able to stuff your own businesses who would also like to empower the youth expression between come into printers like us for every item sold. already donates 5 percent of the money she mix to the education of under people like young guards she doesn't only want to bring peace candidate items back to life she also wants to give something back to society. wow but for it to cool jewelry ok now let's meet a woman who actually wouldn't want our computers to be cut up into pieces and one as earrings this is. she lives in la was a big. trained as an architect but then went on to study as she saw more business opportunities there would you believe that not even one out of 10 people in was

a big have access to the internet this is something sighs here is determined to change to bring her country forward into the future. in my food well sqlite old. smart idea to pronounce like. she's confident that digital technology will revolutionize the continent. in. 30 years from now i see in africa that produces solutions and africa that seems on a global scale. order to find local sort of. the business of the solution. and went on to found her own company techno plus. people set up computer systems and build websites and databases for banks and shops. in. this unique challenges such as pockets or expensive hardware. that are challenging

what compartment doesn't have to be an obstacle to success. many scientists and creators will come from here from africa because where there are challenges there is also. where there are problems so. it's not all about making money and not to expose more young people to the digital world she also gives free i.t. classes in a nearby school every saturday so far not even $1.00 out of 10 was on. access to the internet for most students this is the 1st time they have ever used a computer. approach to teaching is to show her students creativity behind a process that is too often perceived as just technical. because if you can get.

a piece of software to do the math with just a few lines of code that is just. a. teaching method is unique and it goes down well with a kid to. that. it. was the daughter of an intrapreneur. from an early age that she could shape the future not just for herself but for others too it's a lesson she wants to pass on. but i really hope the head and implemented our own innovations instead of the ones coming from outside. so no songs by. the next. wow that's really inspiring it's key about digitalisation can have

a huge influence but of course it's not without challenges and would like to delve into these but also into the opportunities one guy who is an expert on digital aviation and new media in africa is j.j. or would your. public speaker and an expert on digitalisation. i think everything. you write. make everyone touch more lives impacts more lives because. everywhere. they go to help africans and money to businesses. other young african. digital. well. they say. well it's really great to have you with us thank you very much.

what are. the biggest opportunities for young people online i think the biggest has to be isis because the us is and you can spread this thing in whichever way you want to express it so the biggest thing is us and then maybe after i says i for the b.b.c. not everyone sees has a tea bag round that everyone is into quilting so how after the axis how can someone make money on social media why should anyone be official need to do and if you can if you haven't understood you don't have followers and don't have an understanding you can be an ivory gates oh so you're a bridge yes they're like a an agency you could call it a business from a company that wants to sell something on the internet and then you connect to them so the influence of the markets are so you know you would have to have an i counsel do that right not to mention the use it's not accounts for your own business or you being the influence of yourself or even creating platforms are so so the chance of opportunities are limitless you know you one of them with success we bloggers on

the continent does the number of for you to tell me how much you could add or in the case of advertising is that not so much anymore going to be is these engagements engagement modern followers because you can have 5000 followers and have people engage in a specific issue say flowers or it's cost. or brislin jews right if you have engagement around our conversation then you can attract business opportunities because because of that and good men and i was in time you could have a huge number of followers i know having a good mentor on anything that is what do you of it business is interest and you have pointed out they didn't any opportunities on the line but there are also challenges so what happens when you come from a country where the cost of internet is too high now for example if you're coming from nigeria where $1.00 g.b. of data costs about $2.00 right well someone is coming from zimbabwe and has to pay

a mind booking $75.00 u.s. dollars for the same amount of data now we offer some young them baldwins how they deal with the high cost of internet data let's have a. think on down. using tools he can generate. using gigabyte i mean the week i was abused wife like me because i can't even lie to my son or wife i really like like the kids in the school it's like i need to be extremely costly most of the night is not going to do that because right now everything else is so it's pretty hectic it's actually selling the economic. j.j. how can we overcome such challenges as high into that price it's a tragedy like just looking at the numbers and it would be $2.00 and then your eyes mind you just to be set on density imagine this only $5.00

a gig in zimbabwe. i think worry this will happen is government has to get out of the way because the wait is right now governments literally in the way of innovation and isis suits on the internet and when i say government it's not for incest taxes d.d. cost of living $5.00 out of 6 it's not just about the immediate cost there's also dick. source of pain taxes to governments to lay this fiber optics and fiber optics are a live wire of the internet and the internet is a live wire of modern business so government has to get out of the way and then also incentivize industry because it's a business idea end of the day and if you incentivize industry and if you remove the bottlenecks that prevents businesses from getting into space the data prices would automatically go down on them but i think it's going to like it's not just about businesses it's also about there was of information that exists for young people on life you know whether you want to learn new skills whether you want to

imagine yeah. just anything you know the internet is the electricity of today's economy now is that country that comes to mind as we're talking that could be a perfect example of a government that is working for the people when it comes to internet access and connectivity estonia of africa. i mean it sort of is that is i mean you know i mean in africa because he said perfect example of that message that i think that western difficult because as a perfect example we suspected that on the continent all right i'm definitely give props to nigeria with the fiber optic cables like 2 or 3 of them in kenya is not deemed by me to us to be said south africa to what's as a collective the numbers about and do what the fed does it will compete with any of them that's what we are all striving for perfection that is indeed true now what is it digital dream of what do you dream of a digital africa in 2050 i mean i think you already have something to let him let

it be said at a 50 shots by his very long speaking about did you thought i would said that for me is about connect c.d.c. and affordability let's everybody has to be connected because this our rights it's our rights to prosperity studio their rights to freedom of expression and then of course affordability because it's not enough to be able to connect as we've seen by we just saw the same pattern of people can't afford to be able to connect now before i let you go i need you to finish this question. to be successful on social media you need to. explore. very you have it thank you so much lately for. now tell us it is a new media a promising professional field for you share your thoughts on facebook and how we look at our you tube channel. now on a different note let's head to kenya now b. has a growing graffiti seen in fun some of nairobi's street artists able to make

a living through their passion they also made it now sells as role models for younger. if you're looking for street art in nairobi you need to go to the low income neighborhoods. grew up here in jericho. in the canyon of his teens there wasn't much in the way of street. but smokey started spraying until one day it became his korea. for. chicken magazines for the states. in the last 15 years. has grown. and smokey has his own little one of the old train carriages. also makes time to mentor up and coming artists. make enough not to live off even

if it isn't always easy. to chanting. or. thank you for the words i don't. like. smokey's for my mentees get wet spring for businesses. but it's in the commune. they really want to make an impact. graphic is more powerful. you know just sitting in this small small paintings we took the art form to. argue. for example and they have a hood known for its high crime rate and violence. grew up here. so when former gang members decided to both a community center and a children's library they asked him to help with the art.

to the critically meaning people are engaging in this but. they decided to form they wanted to express themselves as people who are willing to do something for change so they may tell me to do that to show people. that's why we're to open eyes to graffiti jam and get together of artists from all over town. some of them have had to save up to buy paints and spray can. they here to help brighten up the area especially for the children and the youth. as motivation. i think is the more you see on. the graph you do. graffiti. with their art and his fellow artists have the respect

of the community i didn't. think. using symbols so as you can see that i am. that's. a lot of talking about something with what would. make them to better their words they shouldn't have a. baby welcomed me and give me several awards. it's his way of saying thank you to the community and maybe inspire the next generation of street artists. let me take you away from nairobi and let's head to fit in the gambia where iraq and activist takes a photo with you he's home city although it isn't the capital of the gandhi a fairy queen that eve of the most important market trading center in
