12:03 am
20 years everybody is battling the sand. there with the way i think that it will be but 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 own mohammed al hussein he moved here with

12:05 am
and he's one of countless farmers have acted about 70 percent of arab land in sudan is in danger of being swallowed up by the desert. and the region is frequently present by sand storms known as haboobs. it was a lead because. it was surely. good true but no one has a. welcome mohamed of the 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 stage is the once.
12:06 am

12:07 am
a. car to the capital of sudan it's been a year since mohammed and her team won 1st prize on mushroom law i brought them a 1000 euros a lot of attention and new contacts now they're working hard on finishing their prototype drone. yeah that would get. certification. from the sky with this plane to cover a wide range of the area are all of the village. houses so the movie. ok shares are well suited to the task because they grow deep and extensive roots that bind sand and soil and help make it felt on again.
12:08 am
electromechanical but. it can't. 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 that's lost to. nothing nothing comes must and it's. so. poverty or something like that to bring everything we need we can get help slumpy of national organization because we are it's with us for danny but i mean his country shall. we are being like classified us today's. team and mohammed are off to testify their drone in the countryside. there is
12:09 am
a fly in my mind. it's hard to get into. by the end of the day it's. just you never think that it will crash more than 2000. and 30 they've just got up. and they make this big i called my mom. the 2 inventors have been working on the project weekends and evenings for more than 5 years by profession they're actually specialists. it's windy so the conditions for a maiden flight are far from perfect. really
12:10 am
. because it's not it's not an. 80. you know it. could go completely destroyed. back in khartoum. 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
12:11 am
ranging from an electronic health care card to sustainable textile production. are made i mean up there tif the president of c.t.c. set up a televised contents together with the sudanese young businessman's association and the british council. at the moment that you probably assure you that was the lead in the whole concept of entrepreneurship at that time was not a known concept and was not one that was a pole 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 the what can we do then maybe you can go and start. at the beginning it wasn't clear if anybody would be
12:12 am
interested in a show like nashua. but really from missouri one it was amazing to us not only what about but 5000 participants by 5000 applicants and missionary one but then the engagement once it started to go live on t.v. and also should need. you know every one from that person's area really would be watching and voting and they both go in again for the lead it was the wildest lewdness think it would be like this. 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
12:13 am
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 on 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. how does 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. i am one of the people who have been inspired by my choice. and they gave me
12:14 am
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 lot of layla and then the couple. 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 rawya tries to fill the gap it offers candidates workshops on issues such as funding planning and marketing. she thinking about reaching out as a small farmers for example so to eat a small farm and most of them they don't know that technology and they don't have t.v. so 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're the founder customer
12:15 am
who does the farmer frost before work because people they're already buying fertilizer from. so can you identify the people who are already buying rivers or from. and if you convince them they will soldier the farmer on your behalf the people who are tending 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 a lot of i compare it to being like a sponge and they want to take in 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 going to make my project and be happy and everybody goes back home but i. was shut down a lot of numbers and procedures business plans and goals in the river those days
12:16 am
shocking i learned a lot actually. so martin i never heard the voice i mean never really that was before i entered the story. so that was. a really big good benefit for the. exchange student my life actually i'm a doctor i have nothing to lose business but when i take this lectures they've used to beat me if i know how to put my my blood my business done you know i do my budget i know how to tap. into fists. mushroom is not only about supporting entrepreneurship but also focuses on responsibility and making a positive contribution to society. through the traditional way of the wish to bring the gift to africa saying here is for
12:17 am
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 that 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 khartoum. was the winner of the 1st season of national oil in the 2014. it's not normal for a girl 80 to the gal who came into this area out is that since cane i'm not saying it's a business now it's become for me at the bench air the end of a massive area that's full of wards that i can't see any ladies around so. i'm the only crazy lady who is moving around the.
12:18 am
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. in a lab. that's going to. be really interesting because less time we were in the book and i thought that we have to go under the water difficultly i'm really appreciate the good there being pregnant. water 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 a growing very fast you can imagine that in one week this plant would multiply the $25.00 it's looking there are additional systems and that was going to be released
12:19 am
and even the few mind cannot easily catch fish it's a good environment for most kids knows about part of sides who is living inside the woods oh yeah it's kind of a nightmare for the people here. attempts to cut town the spread of water hyacinth sap so far failed even weed killers were simply absorbed by the plant. some are all got to have 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 amongst my living these days you don't need as kind of prizes well as you can leave very suitable forces can come to light so that. you can see that i'm using such kind of
12:20 am
a normal kind of tools you don't have to go for it kind of feels advance for example it's tools and. choosing a caesars. want to spray on you even if you don't haave than you can just play with your hand so it's kind of easy way i mean this is vision for people who doesn't have a huge capital decide to business. for now or she makes the items herself at home in her free time. some algarve who sells her products on the internet and at a small shop. here some of the new things are made that
12:21 am
they should be on display here. i'm talking this can we make some space for them i can set them up for you to come out of. 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 painful condition that need the cooperation between we as women and the. bitterness of a woman. who was all yeah i guess ladies now and women now are very aware of their rise they are looking forward to it's what they want from the life you can see us we are part of the new women and we are proud of that actually.
12:22 am
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 she was maturing she watched my journey and you know that's why she decided that he has to go further out of higher education she won't even go for the 4 how master degree. when it's all work on the problem on the bus to go that he faced with her family i think the out there will again is how go in full then her education and they are allowed to give her a range of areas where high than 400000 or someone. may have opened new horizons turning a vision into reality remains a challenge to the team and mohammed to been trying for months to get
12:23 am
a permit to deploy their drones even as the desert keeps advancing like here where trees have been planted as part of the great green wall project. team will lose a battle there so that if you. destroy every single one and every single city. another problem for the team and mohamed is failing to find an investor to back them project despite their triumph on national oil into dance 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. the a lot of them all. but when we when we.
12:24 am
we are by fall and watch somebody i was facing the challenge is to face. all they are in the fault line every day there's investigation that will get with us we have to. surmount gardy 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 access to even information sometimes when you get into a website it's not the bill that 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
12:25 am
a diagnostic tool. i am not among those chosen by the jury to appear on the show some are guardian 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 mossad from the british council has spent weeks working with the candidate some projects. winners they've reached this point out of sauza a sawzall of the case and. i wish him the best and i hope that they continue their work through so-called model moments as i actually this is
