In this episode Carla Vitantonio talks to Kenneth Amaeshi about the project he is supporting in Nigeria.
While talking about ways to improve livelihood for people and community, Kenneth admits that too often solutions are brought from abroad that don’t match local needs, practices, habits and customs. Kenneth explains how his working group and himself are, on the contrary, trying to build new opportunities based on local networks and practices.
