diseases that are and make artificial organs in the future to borrow today. in 60 minutes on d w. what secrets lie behind these walls. discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage site. p.w. world heritage 363 getting up now. 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 meters 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 eyes are going to do what 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 own mohamed al hussein he moved here with his family 15 years ago. this is a. feel for the mongo is the height of 4 of the 5 meter is all of the 4 metre. by the sun. like this. i said maybe it is the emitter and it certainly the government. he also grows palm

trees and has already lost $500.00 of them to the sand the rest will also soon be parent. at them it's 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 and. at some point you just feel desperate. 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 percent by sand storms known as haboobs.

it was valid because one. issue a. good true but. the 1st time. that my brother welcome mohammad 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 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 am 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. 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 used. to pick asia. scenes from the sky with this plane load over a wide range of the area are all of the village. houses so the movie. acacias are well suited to the task because they grow deep and extensive roots that bind sand and soil and help make it 1st time again. because 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 and that's what's technology. nothing or nothing coming months and it's.

so sad poverty or something like that to bring everything we need to we can get help slumpy of national organization because we are in for that as for danny what i mean is going to show. the art of being who i classified us to today's. our team and mohamed are off to test friday a drone in the countryside. there is a fly in my mind. it's hard to get. by the end of the day it's just a test. every time that it isn't crashed more than 2000. and then they've just got zapped. they need this big guy 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 . because it's not it's not easy. to eat. meat. you know it's not completely destroyed.

back in khartoum. at the edge of the city of the headquarters of c.t.c. sudan's largest agro chemicals company this is where the final selection round is taking place for the latest series of natural law a. 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 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 bought it right now isn't that the whole concept of entrepreneurship at that time was not

a known concept and was not one that was a tall encourage so culturally. being entrepreneurial is not part of the sudanese culture no mother you know would tell her son or daughter old 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 fail in all these all day what can we do then maybe you can go and start. at the beginning it wasn't clear if anybody would be interested in a show like mash oyo. but really from missouri one it was amazing to us not only what about what 5000 participants 55000 applicants in missouri want 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 go through him again to lead it was just losing to be

like this. in fact masher on has become the most popular t.v. show in sudan. global a cartoon 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 trying to get by doing odd jobs. whether young or old rich poor almost everybody in khartoum knows mash rule i.

love it how you go middle 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 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. and i work. i am one of the people who have been inspired by my choice. he 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 that's what everybody here dreams of a lot of a lot lynn than couple yourself so the need. 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 rawya tries to fill the gap it offers candidates workshops on issues such as funding planning and marketing and. she's thinking about the change as a small farmers are in town. so to me the small farm in most of them they don't know that acknowledge and they don't have t.v. so much she thought about we thought that you know the radio will be one of the town that we can use in it to reach them. the question is if you understand your customer who does the farmer frost before work process people who are already part of fertiliser from. the 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 attending the workshops here are much more passionate they're really want to learn. they're very enthusiastic

a lot of questions they want to talk about it's a lot and i compare it to it 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 in a boom i'm going to make my project and be happy and everybody goes back to them but i. shall be a lot of numbers in the procedures business plans and goals in the over those days shocking i learned a lot actually. the market in i never heard a voice i've never read that was there before i inferred destroyed. so that was. a really big good benefit for. changes in my life but sure i'm a doctor i have nothing to lose business but when i take this lectures they've used to be clear i know how to put my my plan my business done i know. my

budget i know how to track. the addition of and this. measure of oil is not only about supporting entrepreneurship it also focuses on responsibility and making a positive contribution to society. through the traditional way of the west giving the gift to africa saying here is the 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 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 to. some

gandhi was the winner of the 1st season of national oil in 2014. it's not normal for a hero they need to be able to came into this area. i'm not saying it's a business now it's become for me and that they share the end of a massive area that's full of wallets that i can't see any babies around so. i'm the only credited you is moving around the. gandhi normally works in vocational training for women in khartoum but when she heard about a plague of water hyacinths on the nile she decided to try to do something about it . you know that. it. was very interesting because last time we were in the boat and i even thought that

they have to go under the water are difficult. i'm really appreciate the good they're doing for you but. water hyacinths were introduced to saddam in the 19th century as an ornamental pool plant they have since become an uncontrollable past. these welcome. in the spread like a funder it's growing very fast you can imagine that in one week this far into the month of likely $25.00 it's looking very gay she says teams can't handle what's going on relief and even the fisherman cannot easily catch fish it's a good environment for most kids and i that part aside was new inside the woods oh yeah it's kind of a nightmare for the people here. attempts to cut town the spread of water hyacinths have so far failed even weed killers were simply absorbed by the plant.

some are of god he 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 a unique about my business as you don't need as kind of prize a call as you can be very suitable for such can't 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 tools i'm just using a caesar's and i want to spread out and you even if you don't haave then you can just play with your hands so it's kind of easy way of these especially for people who doesn't have a huge cabbagetown to start a business. for now she makes the items herself at home in her free time.

i can. sum up all gandhi's sounds her products on the internet and at a small shop. here are some of the new things that made it they should be on display here. but if i was can we make some space for them i can set them up for you came 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 main bitterness of any woman so that was all yeah i guess ladies now and 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 so the news that women 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 she watched my journey doing that so i she decided that i'd have to go for the ride the fish and she won't even to go for the 4 how mustard degree she wins all the all the

problem on the list of those that he faced with me i think the out there will again is how growing folded her education and they were allowed to give her the a range of mary's 1001 someone. may have opens new horizons turning a vision into reality remains a challenge her team and mohammed to been trying for months to get a permit to deploy their drones even as the desert keeps advancing like here where trees have been planted as part of the great group. unwalled project. team. lose a battle by their so this difficult. story every single point every single 30.

another problem for the team and mohamed is failing to find an investor back fan project despite their trial on match roy into dance startups can't get funding either from the government or from banks. or to want to keep trying. somebody needs to be feel like we have to give. me a lot of them all. but when to me when we will. we are fight for and was somebody i was facing. face to face. or they are in line every day there's an investigation that will get with us we have to take them you don't do. x. amount gardy has not been able to expand her business either due to the still fragile state of the 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 information 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. while most from the british council has spent weeks working with a candidate some projects. for winners to reach this point out of sauza a sawzall a biggie. i wish him the best and i hope that they continue to evolve with those soulful model moments that i actually this is a days for me to suffer this is. the sea for all for the new generation. several dozen startups have been launched 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 back.
