brutal persecution in his home country of me and maher. all about it that they came to burn down our houses we ran for our lives then a fire engine came and we thought it would put out the fire instead it sprayed gasoline onto the fire and the entire village burst into flames. eventually obtuse addict and did up in the malaysian capital of kuala lumpur many who travelled with him on the secret smuggling routes died along the way that would we lost everything in our homes our land our identity now we are stuck in our country and we know nothing about. i mean the north you know it's your money. nearly 180000 refugees and asylum seekers live in malaysia most of the. my rowing go for decades the country has refused to sign the un geneva convention of 951 for

malaysia's refugees that means no recognized status no protection and no rights. children other worst affected malaysia hinders their access to an education 2 thirds of the children do not go to school at all the rest attend informal learning centers such as the few g. school. deborah henry founded the private school in 2009 it's funded by donations many of the children here are traumatised. i remember when i 1st started working with the students we did this activity i gave them pieces of paper and crayons and i said to them just draw something you know your family and your favorite things in their pages remained black and what caused that why why were they not able to dream and to and to create and to think outside of the box and i think they've gone through so much that they just couldn't they

couldn't see beyond now what do you do to like story someone's imagination to get them dreaming in. 'd 'd the children learn english and math to the future to school and they're encouraged to develop self-confidence in the sense of personal responsibility when they're ready to put in the effort they can achieve a lot that's the message that founder deborah henry wants to send to the. scientists. trying to sign. off. on finds. that. deborah henry began working as a fashion model when she was 15 she became one of the most famous beauty. queens of malaysia but then she had the idea to put her fame to good use to fight for

refugees rights. with this movement most of it documented that i visited these refugee families living 20 minutes from our beautiful twin towers and i couldn't believe that they were here in malaysia in my home and they were going to school and i think that was a big turning point for a kid in this well today without an education or setting them up to fail. after fleeing me in march of 2 sidique struggled for 6 years to survive in malaysia . 6 years in which he had no legal work promise and was forced to do odd jobs to feed himself and his family. 6 years in which they received no medical care.

we miss our homeland very much we ask the international community to find justice for us we want to go home if we can we can't bear living as refugees in a foreign country we hope that the international community will help end the conflict so that my country can be at peace and we could me turn to our homeland god willing. obviously digs journey is not over yet the united states approved his asylum application a few weeks ago he his wife and their 2 children will be resettled in the midwest 2nd you beginning. something hundreds of thousands of others

in malaysia can only dream about many refugees here feel abandoned by the government without an official status and opportunities they've been silenced and marginalized. the average malaysian will live life and never meet a refugee and so why should a refugee matter to them how is this going to affect their life how do we tell that story of what it means to be a refugee in the fact that is anyone can be a refugee it's not a function of your wealth your education privilege anyone can be a refugee just like that and so what then what role do you play when you're in a position where you are born into a safe country where you don't have conflict of war how can you then lend a hand to someone else in the. with her future the school deborah henry has made it possible for $400.00 refugee children to receive an education and she will continue to fight for refugee rights in malaysia.

by the end of this century the un estimates there will be just under 11000000000 people living on our planets in order to accommodate the mole an additional 2000000000 new homes will need to be built by 2100 a nightmare for the environment as most buildings a main from concrete which is made from cement by the middle of the century the demand for cement is set to rise by 25 percent a year cement production uses a lot of energy and creates huge amounts of climate damaging c o 2 so we need building materials which and don't contain cement and which are affordable football. to men with one vision. and. we want to transform the construction industry with cement. free concrete with support from businesses they're constructing

a display house it's their 1st attempt to use the material in their impishness project a significant step toward their goal it's kind of an amazing feeling we didn't think much of this week it's good to think. because all the lot of what. we are quite happy to see there is a. blunder a spent years researching cement free building materials that this was federal institute of technology in zurich cement is responsible for 80 percent of worldwide carbon emissions a more sustainable building material is long overdue landfill founded on construction sites where every year millions of tons of clay based excavation materials are disposed of but when they're mixed with a naturally occurring mineral and water they result in a construction material that's more environmentally friendly than standard concrete with a cement free of concrete is up to 90 percent. c

o 2 production then complete the conventional concrete there are advantages that we'd all. like primary role much to you have come from a place in gravel and sand. in some areas in the water but we use construction waste the landfill most of the time and. they have much as cheap to access their fall like and reduce the price of the material. on this earth concrete can be processed more or less like standard concrete but it currently around half the cost. jali landreau was inspired by building practices in his home country he grew up in togo where clay or earth houses are. common sight in many countries in africa cement housing this. kind

of wall inside and therefore you need to have a ventilation cooling system and stuff like this whereas in the stuff you've got me sitting in it. together with his colleague. he's founded a startup. there is a shortage of housing all over the world these days the construction industry is under pressure not to waste resources there's a demand for the cement free concrete in industrialized nations but also in countries where affordability is a priority including in parts of africa where millions of new homes need to be built in the upcoming years. we have plans for. who estimate that we need to build houses for 2000000000 people by 10 to 15 and. most of these houses need to be built in country where like they're.

like they're building material costs more they let. us therefore having like. it's really important it's. our dream and. so being able to implement the north. africa will be a huge achievement for us so all enabling people to have. affordable safe decent and. same time sustainable accommodation. the display home is one step closer to fulfilling that dream the quick drying walls will undergo further tests as the 2 scientists work to optimize their earth concrete one day they hope it will be a bedrock of the construction industry.

this week english ideas we find out about a potential shift towards climate friendly methods of transport our reporter julie a small gambler hopped on a motorcycle and rode around uganda's capital kampala due to the coronavirus crisis the normally chaotic roads are empty and the city could become the starting point for a transport revolution across the whole nation. compiling coronavirus loke down the streets of never been so empty but francis up here is that loud she believes very same shows and something goes is different francis is one of the few people in uganda driving an electric motor bike. he sees a lot of advantages to it number one it is silent number 2 doesn't question 3 at all number 3. claims very aware.

or clears for delhi where is being eagerly awaited play pregnant customer. since he serves them few well he can charge less than his competitors. he's actually very cheap to pay them in the end. i think. they get their people praise. literally has been convenient for me. images from just weeks ago. in kampala alone there are about 830000 motorcycles oh border borders. the masses of motorized fake cause generate a huge amount of air pollution and c o 2 emissions. that is why the united nations environment program the unit provides advice and financial support for electric mobility in eastern africa. we need the media response we need in the media interventions and

electric mobility is one of those because it is easier to not structure the needs pain don't need so you can have a computer. and go on. development past my path requires pioneers make ben locator is korean and he wouldn't be. the graduates of arkan university in germany how did problematic idea take feel ridiculous to fuel motor bikes in kampala and transform them into electric bikes. so all we remove is the petrol powered train petrol driven. board and electric. so as you can see it's the same bike fuel tank is empty of course. and what we put inside is mainly a controller and the electrical solar electric more thought. a battery as

a source of power replacing the fuel tank. some digital controls of throttle lithium ion batteries recovered from old laptops are assembled into rechargeable battery units for the e bay. and the recycling glow continues even when the batteries become too weak to use in the eba. so what we do get on your batteries use it for your mobility. after that when they lose a bit of power we either put it we put it in storage systems like our. power resolves one loses again. our we go through tortures another small obligations before it goes through to be disposed. delivery month francis is one of the 20 drivers testing the transformed bikes. on average he has to

return to board a walk twice a day to recharge. he rents the parties for the evening to have less than 3 euros a day. all in all these are his cards he's operating costs by half but there is still one thing that bothers him. one place where we where we swap the batteries. but he said even to get the feedback about all we are getting from the board are geysers also also because. it doubles varying from saw families wolfie's we see kids being brought from the village that are now schooling income because the writers have more money. this right days johnny johnny had done udrih. he had worked for solar energy company for several years before he decided to try to make company as motorbikes cleena. with his startup zimbo he now imports

cutting edge electric motor bikes from china. each one sells for about a 1000 euros that's quite a bit of money that the drivers can pay over a period of 2 years. and the bikes are tailored to their specific needs here our driving mode is different than a chinese person commuting to work here we really look into productive he was and hundreds of kilometers every day. there is still a long way to go. right it was. only it was the most if you. will. or the living room they start up a soldier 20 bytes so far. and they expect 18 more within the next 2 months. the same boys are already creating employment sorrow tabel couldn't find a job for 2 years now she's in charge of marketing actually it makes me feel very

very proud of myself that i'm contributing a lot to be part of the great team which is actually precious beating. to immobility for a small fee of just over half a euro is imber driver can exchange and into botching for a fully charged $1.00. this is important like some new green system electricity comes from the solar energy on top of the companies building. for more solar charging points a plan to keep on as soon. energy is generated within the country not like you which is imported from outside so this has a huge impact on the environment. and we were briefed. i see even 10 years you know if you want to cycle anymore in the world market it's

an outdated technology these green technology behind france's silkiest deliveries is a sign of hope in 2 ways providing for people's needs in the local down and for clean the country once the pandemic is over. that's all from us at global 3000 this week as you know we love hearing from you so write to us at global 3000 at d w dot com and check out our facebook page d w women see you next time.
