Empowering African communities with waste conversion | Sanga Moses

“Uganda has lost 70% of forests,” says entrepreneur Sanga Moses. Youths lose school time due to spending hours searching for firewood as climate change remains a very real threat. Sanga witnessed these problems, and decided he needed to do something about it; he began converting waste into usable fertilizer and a green-friendly charcoal. He empowers women, children and local farmers by giving them jobs and environmentally friendly solutions to some of the biggest issues they face.

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
