so vehicle. so she was too high because the stove model that they were using is what we call, ah, 3 stones via and told consumers to afford and then consequences, wary everywhere and in wonder efficient individual areas. we have a car told trees was extremely high, and the erosion was also a very big issue. the result has been severe flooding. regular cloud bursts in the rainy season can no longer be absorbed by the ground. the torrance wash away fertile soil, landslides our common burying homes and killing people. with this is what the land looks like. a few weeks after the reins,

the raging waters have swept away the bridge. we have to use a provisional one. we're going to visit an industrial plant, said among rice fields, avocado and banana plantations. it's an eco friendly factory. it's aim is to conserve natural resources. the stove parts for the high efficiency cookers are manufactured here using traditional techniques . there are various sizes depending on the performance required the project to implement. very, very, very important to reduce poverty. the whoop, that to be consumed with in the one in math currency. is it us thing almost 3 months. that is a saving over money,

as they said, that is a saving of world saving of environment. the factory uses local clay and sand. german and geo is have provided financial assistance. but the concept of construction plans and recipes come from rwandan engineers. everything is hand made . in addition, the stove parts are air dried, which means no additional energy consumption. this thought with this review to install it keeps heat and whoever is cooking and if, if somebody don't have to stay around while cooking, you kind of going to filter way to cooking. you can the cell, you are having to videos the market. so videos

a heap of cow dung. it's needed for the last step in the construction of the new cooker. theo, the stove builder, mix as the dung, with ash and water. these building materials are recommended by the stove builders, and based on theos own experience. it was listed with the stove is plastered on the outside with conventional mortar. but as theo explains to the family, the dung mixture goes on top because the surface is exposed to a lot of stress. repeatedly heating and cooling cement would eventually crack under those conditions. cow dung, on the other hand, always stays a bit flexible. the stove top doesn't break, and after a few days, it doesn't smell any more either, but on average, only thought after this last step, the stove has to drive for $8.00 to $10.00 days. then it can be put to use another

household, putting a little less strain on the climate. sunday morning. theo and his family go to church in the district, capital mo, hunger. they walk about 4 kilometers to get their rwanda is a predominantly christian country, around 45 percent catholic and 35 percent protestant. some 5 percent of the population is muslim. with 1300000 members, the anglican church makes up only about 10 percent of the country's population. but when it comes to environmental awareness, the for anglican diocese with their rural development, inter diocesan service, want to set an example. although the angio gets financial support from germany, local church members also provide a significant some themselves we

thought that is good for a christian or past the oral bishop o 2. to protect a the environment. because it all that we have here in the this us who is belong to a goat. that's why we belong also to boat. andy, you remember in genesis? good, do any put of them and the iv enterprise, he said to them, to, to walk for it, to protect for it and to work for the they are benefits. so all we are or nish ah, at this seat is to out of for this to wired of this as it is in order to belong to

t fees for education, for via children, the work hard to, to, to improve via and even condition. theo and his wife and an sierra are an example of people who struggle with poverty on a daily basis. but it doesn't prevent them from living in an eco friendly way. they have 3 children, no steady income, and no land, just a garden in front of the house. but theo has also installed one of the efficient kitchen stoves in his home to day, they can harvest beans, they also grow avocados and bananas. filled with fuel hosting. here you lift your so from the, from the old, the, you. so we only use half and store the other half of for the next sewing definitely, they can't afford much and they use few raw materials. so their carbon footprint is

minimal. we make a detour to the national memorial of the genocide of tutsis and moderate hutus 28 years ago between 800008 1000000 people were murdered. the genocide was fueled by hate filled ethnic propaganda. most of the perpetrators belong to the who 2 ethnic group. since then we're wanda's government has been dominated by tutsis. it's a so called educational dictatorship under president polka gammy, who insists that there are only rewan dense, no ethnic differences. the government has been praised internationally for focusing on the eradication of poverty, combating the corona virus pandemic, and for environmental and climate protection. after

driving another few dozen kilometers on pot old roads, we visit a health center in soviet, a village and southern province, famous for its coffee production. cat like nuns run the health center in. so lou, it's not exactly a hospital more like a general help center with a laboratory and pediatrician, offering cancer screening and vaccinations from cove it to measles. this small rural health center has a partnership with the famous german shall he tay hospital in berlin. a group of doctors from germany is currently visiting, so vo, their discussions, focus on malaria and other common tropical diseases. due to the corona virus pandemic, these endemic tropical diseases have been somewhat overlooked lately, but they remain a serious problem. professor frank morgan helped heads the department of tropical and international medicine at berlin's chevy tay hospital. the new him one,

even before the 1st case was discovered here i was a huge success of our cooperation to put it bluntly, we have saved many lives here through the cooperation. and now, one of the 2 factories that will produce the by on tech pfizer coven vaccine in africa, is being built in rwanda. but with kobe 19 in the spotlight, it's important as professor mock and helped points out, that other medical issues aren't forgotten. malaria, the pathogens of which are becoming more and more resistant to previously effective drugs. tuberculosis and diseases caused by pollution. professor mocking helped calls these illnesses, the diseases of poverty an anglican church school in moo hung this city. on special climate action days, the students plant trees order, those are with vendors to day vincent, my nanny from r t i s. 1 has been invited to the school. he's brought
