The streets of berlin trigger memories of her old life maria bakker is just 17 but shes already been through a lot she used to be homeless a rough sleeper drug user eventually ended up in rehab its not easy for her to talk about her past she doesnt say exactly what happened just that there were problems with her mother. As. We didnt get on i used to live in life then when i was 13 i moved into a flat chair. I kept on running away from there regularly for long periods and then i ended up on the street 1st and then berlin and then hamburg. Maria always had her cell phone and made things easier because at some point she stumbled upon markley an Online Service for the homeless provides a kind of city map that this places to sleep shower doctors and Advice Centers as. They use the app. To see for example where i could get food or find help. Theres also an s. O. S. Button that activates a whats act group. And if you have an urgent problem you can text and theyll find a solution. Ok and thats in there as a minor you just cant go up to someone and say im homeless work and i go to get help this i have keeps you anonymous no one knows stuff like how old you are. Now for people in urgent need of help but its also the focus of this gathering in india 2 hours north of mumbai these women are professional state approved Health Workers there they in trying to use our own saki that app that will soon be helping them to treat their patients pregnant women Young Mothers and their babies. The idea for the op came from upon a head a gynecologist from mumbai who is also the founder of the n. G. O. S armaan. Aparna has seen several women died during pregnancy or in childbirth and says those deaths could have been prevented with better medical care at is that into the agnostic who takes the work out with the symptoms the signs the diagnostic test to be foot form at the end else her want this fact there is the mother the child has what she can do to help the mother and when she has to therefore and what is an emergency there so what happens is that this fight is very orderly and mother childrens lives.

And Online Service for the homeless in germany in the offices of karuna and Aid Organization for young people in berlin on train noida was motivated by practical concerns such as whats the best way to help youngsters who end up on the streets and above all whats the simplest way to reach them. Its the. First question was whether or not homeless youngsters have smartphones and of course many do young people who live on the streets often see their phones as the final link to friends or home and view them as the most valuable possession that its not just a status symbol its a multifunctional device that also provides a flashlight for music and so on its. A smartphone based service can help many people there are some 237000 homeless in germany of those an estimated 19008 percent on children or young people under the age of 18.

Of killing existing government Health Workers were not getting a bad law system these Health Workers are any made connected to the Health System and hence the mother children are so better. Also this program can continue in the future even without our support. Team elash will have her baby in a few weeks although she was initially worried about giving birth now shes confident everything will be fine. But i guess again my nana might have that liberia that lady from sucky visits me every month at home. Better than what it actually examines me and enters all the information into the app. I know that if somethings wrong the app will immediately inform my Health Worker so she can react straightaway and i get. Back on the road shes responsible for 7 villages in the region and the next patient a few kilometers away is already waiting. And now its time for something say for me this weeks global snack comes from the philippines. High up just a poor neighborhood northeast of the capital manila is where nini a lago house or snack bar. Its mostly hungry workers who come here they want food that is fast cheap im filling. The chef specializes in the popular snack lugo a bowl cost 10. 00 pesos thats not even 20 euro cents. To go go is rice porridge with chicken and rice and i use chicken feet because theyre very affordable for everyone. Anyone can buy logo its so affordable that even children can buy it as a snack. Only. In a big part sticky rice and regular rice or boiled together to form a thick cruel. The chicken feet provide the flavor. Along with congealed chicken blood on the kitchen secret ingredient. We on cubes. After cooking for an hour the rice porridge is ready its garnish to garlic and the juice of color mansi law and. Then from. Filipinos traditionally eat 5 meals a day new guy was a popular morning or afternoon snack. Its even considered a home remedy for colds. I mean look goriest the typical call of filipinos just be like you. Feeling food whenever it rains you know and you really even if its hot you think you still choose and i myself am still true to the look of. That you know im going to manage without my mother used to cook every morning. Thats why i try to egypt every day. I know. Some regions in the philippines also have a sweet version of lugo but here in pa customers love the spicy taste no matter what the time of day. And now in global ideas we are off to kenya the east african country has a high Domestic Energy demand and in many sectors including the t. V. Industry people are keen to find alternatives to fossil fuels cant because leading tea party sound in kerry chair county are Connie Bowman discovered several Processing Companies that are using Sustainable Energy source is from the local area. County comes to life. As far as the eye can see. The fields are covered. Which grow very well here. This is kenyas most important. Has a plantation here hes one of 600000 smallholder farmers who work with the development. T. Has provided his family with a good living he is. The main source of income. And buy. A boat. From his farm is processed just a few kilometers away in a tab a sonic factory which is also affiliated with k. T. The workers 1st separate the tea leaves into equally sized batches afterwards their dried in a process that takes several steps. The drying process requires boilers like these they consume a great deal of firewood. Most of this wood comes from the factories own plantation. Trees are growing scarce in the region 2 years ago the government imposed a moratorium on logging in public forests. And thats also why the factory uses bearcats metal fibers sugarcane residue a number of countries have begun exploring this biomass. As a promising source of energy. Storage space and. To. And from units. That the factory has already been able to replace one 5th of its what consumption with bearcats theyre hoping to increase that amount ideally making firewood unnecessary. Chavez has visited several t. Factories. Shes heading a project to investigate whether switching to cats would make t. Production more sustainable. That entails assessing the various processing steps such as fermentation as well as analyzing the entire production chain. How much raw material and how much energy is consumed to obtain the final product. Per sussman draws on 24 criteria that researchers developed a number of years ago. We look at not just at the environmental aspect we are looking also for the social economic and even afford be aware that this on governance or policy and regulations so we considered. Cool sustainability. And. This is suspect has to be done for the tea production and also for the bearcats. Thats why the Renewable Energy specialist is visiting this factory. Sugarcane by products are often simply dumped at the roadside where they rot and emit the Greenhouse GasesCarbon Dioxide and methane. But here theyre turned into a valuable resource. The same language circular economy so this is what we want to promote with bio energy and by economy how you can really have a rounded cycle for the biomass. Huge amounts of this waste are produced during sugar production 100 tons of waste can be turned into roughly 45 tonnes of briquettes 1st the sugarcane back us has to be dried and shredded. And then its molded into park heads under high pressure. Since theyre made out of a waste product no additional land has to be put under cultivation thats a key indicator for sustainability transportation emissions are also taken into account the way theyre working is really to consider radius where they can they can leave their debris get trashed long as they are within the 100 to maximum 200 kilometers just do it in a range that the emissions are not too high for transport. In this case the raw material doesnt have far to travel. A large sugarcane mill is located just a few kilometers from the bearcat factory. The workers dry some of the sugar cane because by hand that also provides a regular source of income. One of the sustainability criteria takes job creation into account and also the extent to which women benefit the production of sugarcane briquettes is now an emerging industry here. And anyone very we have about 80 to 90 ladies dying we were at the grass for us so you can see or we have created jobs of about 180 to 200 people a month. Although there are cats out for many benefits only a few factories are using them they dont have the necessary experience and training. And thats why the tab a sonic. The factory is conducting training sessions workers from other cheek Companies Come here to learn how to best combine bearcats and work so as not to overload their boilers and to phase out firewood as much as possible. That would help preserve the remaining woodlands and protect biodiversity it would also benefit the Tea Plantations and the farmers. Farmers who are affiliated with katie da like is a i keep it cure we might soon be able to profit in a different way to. The company. And the money and the money saved goes to the promise last year the price of tea fell on the world market. Farmers in kenya every cent counts.
