This gives me so much hope. I love how it's not a handout too. Things can be done! Start locally. Every city is full of useless abandoned properties. Zero in on them. Put them to use!

This video sky is amazing. This is so uplifting in comparison to most of the material I spend time viewing that highlight inequality... It makes my heart leap of joy to know that some of those ladies burden have been aliviated, not sure why is so in black culture that the woman is the mule. The smiles on those kids face is a breath of fresh air, priceless . God bless hi and his family.

I think the family in this video understands that everybody wants better for themselves and their children. When given the proper education, finances and guidance they will grow as naturally as the forest. But even a damaged forest needs a helping hand.

Wind powered would be even more low tech and therefore cheaper and more reliable. And when there's no wind, a crank can be attached so that people can turn it by hand. Gasoline, or whatever they're currently using is obviously unsustainable, but solar power is far from perfect too. The materials to make solar panels have to be mined in unsustainable ways, and solar panels themselves are not ecologically sound, meaning they don't biodegrade and are hard or impossible to recycle entirely.

What about using something like this when planting seedlings? www.groasis.com/en/technology/the-groasis-growboxx-plantcocoon-biodegradable-it-is-made-of-recycled-paper And what about showing them how to build efficient rocket stoves and simple to complex solar ovens so they are no longer dependent on wood for cooking? There are many designs available to use as templates... here is one for a solar oven: believe.earth/en/how-to-build-a-solar-oven-and-why/, and one for a rocket stove: permacultureprinciples.com/post/rocket-stoves/. Nice to see fellow Swiss in the greening up of the world!

He it is Who sends down water from the sky; from it you drink and from it the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture. With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily, in this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for a people who give thought. (Al-Quran, Surah An-Nahl: 10-11)

Yeah, it's not like Ethiopians suddenly one day forgot how to take care of Ethiopia and decided to cut down all the trees just for the heck of it. They were driven to it by extreme poverty, imposed on them by colonizers and capitalists. Let's not leave out that part of the story.

As a half Jewish German, I am proud hehehe. But they should build pushcarts for the women. I have built simple push carts all entirely made of wood. (Just put lard, butter, margarine or grease to the holes where the wheels go. I don't why the men there insist the women carry heavy loads. They do not value their women.
