conservation. can we pretend. we can make a difference. maybe. this is news africa coming up on the program today the woman who is has reach some of the world's highest tides has saved herself a new challenge seroquel model is the 1st black woman just summit mount everest now she wants to conquer the disease malaria i'll be talking to her about her new campaign called the bigger picture. and why women in nigeria shares her experience off suffering from depression brought on by causes 90. meets in a girl's 1st and only professional female surfer 1st time i think the way i like

that everybody look at me and say what happened i said i don't care that's the way it is no good now i'm so full of. hello i'm kristie want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along south africa's model has reached some of the world's of the loftiest types and last year she became the 1st black woman to climb to the top of mount everest that's kind of the highest mountain above sea level that this is sarah looking on from the top. row. taking isn't it when sara summers of mount everest she was campaigning for

education today she's launching a new campaign where the focus on malaria and it's timely because it comes as experts warn malaria deaths in africa could more than double this year compared to the last because of course with 19 in a moment i'll be talking to sarah but 1st more about her new campaign in her own words. used a picture of the. numbers you see and conquer back room. time to smoke to get them we must we must move on and not struggle we're facing. life every 2 minutes and this room and then. times of crisis. together and see more learn. see the bigger picture and make the

world safer for all. systems with me. and i am now pleased to welcome circle might have studied every news africa she is joining us from her home in johannesburg welcome to news africa so it's good to see you know you have campaigned for many a good cause you've picked malaria this time why. this is. growing out of the sea i grew up in central africa yes it was cool as they were at the time and at one point we almost lost one of my younger sisters to malaria which killed becomes deliberately area so this is personal and i feel that it's time for me to almost get involved and make a small difference is special because. that can be overwhelming it's affecting everybody and it's what is topical at the moment the rest not forget malaria and

that's why i stepped up and joined. what can be dan writes it to prevent malaria claiming more lives this year we've already heard some experts warning that the amount of people there to die the said could be double what died last year because of the cover pandemic the reality is before covered 90 malaria could have affected half the population of the world so it's big i think what could be done 1st of all is not forgetting it you know combating malaria as well as call it 1000 ensuring that we continue to invest in a mosquito nets as we have been in the past and creating now awareness to make sure that the people that are affected your are top of mind as we go on our. duties. that's right it's been said that you know malaria doesn't get the attention that it should because it's a 3rd of all problem right. what do you think about that. you know

it is what it is it's true right govern $1000.00 is affecting everybody it's a race of gnostic class at last but malaria is unfortunately you know restricted to sit in areas and that's the reality and which is why i thought my voice as small as it is only to rise up and unite and make that difference the nice thing is there is a lot of work that's been done in the past and also if you didn't actually in malaria so i think with people like me with you start giving us the platform we can actually combat it irrespective of the fact that it's only localized to sit in areas and not the rest of the world so you have explored the world in your invention as we saw you up at the top of mount everest that's not something i've seen many black women do right climbing these mountains and and going to the

heights that that you have gone to you must feel like some kind of an outlier right . not really i think for me it's a barter presentation it's about making sure that my great grandchildren don't feel that there are certain things they can do see areas where they can go to i love climbing and i use it to raise money for education and i'm going for it you know i would love for it for people coming behind me to be seen on everest is a norm not as you know are one of the few and the question why whether they belong but it's making sure the african child respect people with the art to know that they too can step on top of the world that makes me very proud and humble or at that's. a reminder of. the 1st black woman to summit mount everest and now she's taking on malaria serious and great talking to. thank

you thank you for having a have a good. these significant changes call that 19 has brought child daily lives is taking a toll on people's mental wellbeing all over the world on the stories in nigeria where even before the pandemic one in 4 people struggled with their mental health that's according to a 21000 report by. our correspondent in lagos met a business woman who's battling depression. this is a hard place to catch a great millions of people here are struggling just to get by and there are concerns the pandemic could push even more people into poverty and depression. you don't have to look far to find people struggling many are trying to protect their livelihoods and their mental health. so how much is a great fish. to fight the last eternity to fight my

duns wants out on 290 parades. amara is self-employed her job buying a crayfish at a good price for resale but with the pandemic most of her clients restaurants have shut down when i gods news from my customers that's interested i was forced to close like this serious so i didn't take this i can't speak i say it's their messages i call us it's only one of them respond no it's america let's see how schools after. know how i suppose you know when over the uncertainty was too much she says it started to weigh her down back in april she began to experience symptoms of depression. anything goes you see mine how does the thinking i was thinking of you know how do i manage these how's like

to hear a lot of things surrounding me how you are at 50 over a response. ammara is one of millions suffering from panic attacks and. but there is a stigma associated with any form of mental illness. once you call out to talk about seats you'll be town was a little bit more recently is gone or a lot of people see even big. it big c. professional help is expensive so far ammara has only been able to afford one therapy session for 50 us dollars not enough to heal. 250 that's the number of psychiatry available in nigeria 250 in a country of 200000000 people 1st so many struggled with some sort of mental illness but only very few have access to their helping. because one of the few psychiatry's remaining in nigeria most of her colleagues have left seeking better

payment abroad she decided to stay if we don't take mental health seriously the population won't be as productive as we would expect and of course eventually the comic the country would lose it canonically put mental health on the on the front she wants the government to subsidize treatment if we don't protest mental health right now we could have more cases of suicide more more more issues one domestic violence more infanticides more issues going on because people want to seek for help what they would take out take it out on someone else with many nigerians only beginning to feel the economic and mental impact of the make the situation remains highly volatile time. it's out of the story of an athlete who followed her heart into the way. learned

how to surf as a teenager and soon be. came senegal's 1st female professional so now the olympic hopeful is inspiring and generation of young girls to defy cultural norms and hone their skills on their surfboard. this is something you don't see every day. women riding the waves in synagogue. it's a male dominated sport though that didn't discourage hard to some now the country's only female professional surfer. first time i think though with ice cream like that everybody in the kidneys say what happened i said don't get it that's the way face down here now i was there for. some fell in love with surfing years ago at age 13 female surfers were nowhere to be found in senegal back then and some filled that void becoming a pioneer for the sport however her journey wasn't an easy ride.

meant what i always advise young girls who start surfing is to not listen to other people who try and stop them because they are girls to concentrate and to keep on going ahead focus on their training i tell them that if you want to progress don't listen to those who tell you to stop or to stay at hartman's. within each one teach one mentality some now 23 years old spent his spare time showing other females in senegal the ins and outs of the sport. i'm so happy and proud this is extraordinary that i always think to myself when i wake up in the morning you have got something to do you represent something everywhere in the world and you must go straight to the top don't give up whatever people say don't listen go forward so that everybody can get up and believe they can surf for. some was looking for. forward to competing in the
