4:47 am
fire and since this area is not on the grid people use diesel powered generators to get electricity. burning these fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. the authorities had no clear idea about the fuel usage here so they started to gather information before we record them here are used to ignore the type of image. in light of cooking i mean darkly beauty. c 40 is a network of almost 100 cities around the world including lagos that promotes climate action this energy usage survey is being carried out under its guidance the team go door to door they've already uncovered the main reasons why solar energy is not used more widely in such informal settlements where people are not going for years because one day don't knowledge about it and finance is actually
4:48 am
good. but a local mini power grid is coming to the reader the government wants 10000 solar powered many grid set up across the country by 2023. and environmental n.g.o.s teaches neighborhood residents how to set up solar panels and how to turn daytime sunlight into nighttime street lamps to make life here safer. and when it is night it everywhere will be getting dark you can see even you can see from here to that so but where we are all these. you can see from here far distance so that the reason why we are doing this in the communities another problem here is poor sanitation this is a public toilet the waste goes straight into the river and contaminates the water used for washing and cooking another n.g.o.s called justice and empowerment
4:49 am
initiatives recently built this toilet facility which uses a kind of composting system called a buyer for digest to breakdown the waste. artist with talent danny tyler is contributing to the project. some other do come around me. mr almost all my make it is a beautiful like this this been this should be should be for my house. and i said well it's attracted to detail it's a common use it. she is interested in the community about. the facility cost $1800.00 us dollars to use it you have to pay the equivalent of just under $1.00 cent. the money goes towards maintenance and cleaning. and it goes on. and like. so i mean it is the force in this community. so i had.
4:50 am
to do more to live because we knew there was about 4 or $5.00 in this community this isn't one we have here now is. limited option is. people in our go away go and the reader also happy about the new solar powered streetlights that are going up. kinda samuel is looking forward to having light during the long evenings she might eventually be able to do away with her diesel generation this would save her some much needed money well also reducing the area's carbon emissions. bolivia is one of many countries where violence against women. continues to be widespread women's rights are often neglected haven their way around tough of the country's parliamentary representatives and women but resistance is growing against such entrenched discrimination with young women leading the way. the. state boards
4:51 am
kneepads and skirts a group of young women in bolivia it's breaking a taboo to fight for more equality in this and be a nation. it's. just a great well i have to control both my body and my mind. it's a way of channeling my feelings and finding my equilibrium. in. the training session gets underway at 10 am the skateboarders are ambitious on the schedule for today muscle strength coordination and jumps. the summer left for the 1st all women skateboard collective in bolivia our name. means skater girls in the indigenous i'm our language it shows how we're identifying with our culture. and. the only man here is their instructor yes he's
4:52 am
a sports student who's teaching them new starts. they're getting better every season because they take it very seriously and they learn every stunt exactly they're really serious about it. like in many countries a woman's place was long considered to be the home that's changed but the skateboarders still want to retain some traditions. my grandma always wears the skirts we want to continue to uphold our cultural identity because we're proud of the hardworking indigenous women of bolivia. in the 2nd half of their training session they change outfits donning traditional indigenous clothing. a skirt blouse plated hair and often a hat too. they were the traditional costume of the n.b.a. and women with pride. we're
4:53 am
doing this because we all belong to the indigenous kitchen. the outfit is a visible part of our culture and. skateboarding in a skirt isn't easy but the clothing is important to them. they want to break clichés and show that women today can shake off the limitations of the past aiming their message especially at the more traditionally minded bolivians. though this is a totally new are we in the 25th century already at least they're getting some exercise and having fun i suppose and not getting into trouble here again. it's been 2 years now since the women began living out their passion for the half pipe. but they still draw inquisitive onlookers every time they take to the roads.
4:54 am
they grew up in the city and are studying at university but they still want to maintain that connection with their forebears who worked hard lived from the land and were at one with nature. but they are dispensing with a traditional gender roles where for centuries women have been discriminated against. the 2 better for you and the immediate scape group is part of a new generation. they're the 1st women in their families to go to university and the 1st to skateboard all while reaffirming their indigenous identity. to most of us when you know. is the most you could do it's our dream they have to have me do and i'm going to show that we're proud of our cultural identity. it's almost you didn't even need. nearly all the skaters grew up in impoverished conditions like many bolivians from indigenous communities yes today they've come
4:55 am
to visit one of the girls' mothers in the countryside. but also lopez is also proud of for indigenous identity but she regrets not having the same rights in her youth that her daughters now enjoy. it and then when i was a child the indigenous girls were shut out of education we were treated like stupid she. only had 4 years of schooling. and fortunately that has changed completing that today you see many women often in traditional costume and sitting in the lecture halls and studying engineering accounting or no. it's a transformation that's ongoing and the skater girls move easily between the old world and the new.
