00:00:12.410 --> 00:00:20.410
- It\'s a mobile world with
calls, texts, and apps to help

00:00:21.890 --> 00:00:25.479
make our lives easier.

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.949
But not everyone\'s benefiting...

00:00:28.950 --> 00:00:30.679
yet.

00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:33.319
Can mobile phone apps
be designed to help

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.659
make a better world?

00:00:35.660 --> 00:00:38.579
This series challenges app
developers from around the

00:00:38.580 --> 00:00:42.639
world to visit communities who
are missing out and then come

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.639
up with an app that
could help...

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:46.890
a Life App.

00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:54.329
This week, Life Apps visits
South Africa and London to

00:00:54.330 --> 00:00:56.999
meet young people who are
creating their own apps for

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.819
social good and looks back
across the series to see

00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:02.070
what\'s been achieved.

00:01:18.220 --> 00:01:24.179
Cape Town, the beautiful city on
the southern tip of Africa.

00:01:24.180 --> 00:01:27.169
South Africa is a rapidly
emerging economy.

00:01:27.170 --> 00:01:30.879
It relies on mobile phones and
wireless technology far more

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:33.120
than on expensive-to-lay
landlines.

00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:38.729
Young company Bozza designs
mobile phone apps, not just

00:01:38.730 --> 00:01:43.909
for entertainment, but to help
people in poorer communities.

00:01:43.910 --> 00:01:48.489
Cheap mobile phones have
revolutionized every day life.

00:01:48.490 --> 00:01:51.219
- We have an enormous generation
who will never have

00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:53.919
access to a computer,
but they will have

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:54.820
access to a mobile phone.

00:01:54.821 --> 00:01:56.209
So we\'re focusing
on entertainment

00:01:56.210 --> 00:01:57.329
to being the backbone.

00:01:57.330 --> 00:02:00.289
The backbone which holds
people there.

00:02:00.290 --> 00:02:02.729
They can come and they can have
a good time, but they can

00:02:02.730 --> 00:02:04.119
also get health information.

00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.789
So on our applications, it\'s
not always about just

00:02:06.790 --> 00:02:09.519
listening to great hip
hop, or gospel if

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.389
that\'s what you\'re into.

00:02:11.390 --> 00:02:12.789
You can also get some love
life information

00:02:12.790 --> 00:02:16.049
around sexual health.

00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:18.359
- Sexual health is a huge issue
for young people in

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.380
South Africa, and Bozza
believe apps can help.

00:02:27.070 --> 00:02:29.769
So the challenge for app
designer Nanzi is to come up

00:02:29.770 --> 00:02:33.319
with a Life App for
sexual health.

00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:35.639
Nanzi grew up in the townships.

00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:38.579
Now, she\'s a key member of
Bozza\'s creative team.

00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:39.230
- Oh, cool.

00:02:39.231 --> 00:02:41.729
So she\'s giving me pens
because she knows...

00:02:41.730 --> 00:02:44.199
- She collects inspiration.

00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:46.149
- Oh, man, that\'s cool.

00:02:46.150 --> 00:02:47.929
It\'s pretty edgy.

00:02:47.930 --> 00:02:50.299
I don\'t connect with
negative energy.

00:02:50.300 --> 00:02:54.669
It says \"Be a caring creative,
make a difference.\" So I an a

00:02:54.670 --> 00:02:57.329
caring creative because
I tell stories

00:02:57.330 --> 00:02:59.109
that mirror my society.

00:02:59.110 --> 00:03:02.449
People can easily relate to
the stories that I write,

00:03:02.450 --> 00:03:04.679
therefore I am Bozza.

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:06.020
Let\'s go have breakfast.

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:11.809
- So can creative Nanzi
come up with a Life

00:03:11.810 --> 00:03:13.340
App for sexual health?

00:03:17.530 --> 00:03:20.899
Nanzi sets off on
a research trip.

00:03:20.900 --> 00:03:24.379
She\'s heading northeast toward
Johannesburg, a city where

00:03:24.380 --> 00:03:27.719
it\'s been estimated that about
one in four adults are HIV

00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:33.289
positive, and then to Soweto
where, despite the poverty, 99

00:03:33.290 --> 00:03:37.679
in 100 households have access
to a mobile phone.

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.939
Nanzi wants to find out if a
Life App could help with

00:03:39.940 --> 00:03:43.779
health issues like AIDS, teenage
pregnancy, and other

00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:46.099
sexual health issues.

00:03:46.100 --> 00:03:49.540
It won\'t prove easy.

00:04:13.670 --> 00:04:16.899
- What is the point of waiting
to two to three months when

00:04:16.900 --> 00:04:17.939
you can do it now?

00:04:17.940 --> 00:04:19.409
The idea is that...

00:04:19.410 --> 00:04:21.789
listen, the idea is that you\'re

00:04:21.790 --> 00:04:23.019
getting to know the person.

00:04:23.020 --> 00:04:24.049
You\'re getting to know.

00:04:24.050 --> 00:04:26.379
Maybe it\'s not even a conscious
decision, or a

00:04:26.380 --> 00:04:27.659
rational decision in...

00:04:27.660 --> 00:04:30.689
- The women Nanzi meets
researching her app are a

00:04:30.690 --> 00:04:32.499
little more helpful.

00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:37.089
- A lot of people are somehow
infected or affected by

00:04:37.090 --> 00:04:41.889
serious viruses that comes
through sexual engagement, you

00:04:41.890 --> 00:04:42.700
understand?

00:04:42.701 --> 00:04:45.589
So with that said, the phone
checker, especially with young

00:04:45.590 --> 00:04:51.139
peoples in Durban, teenage
pregnancy is high this side.

00:04:51.140 --> 00:04:54.279
Clearly people don\'t protect
or don\'t use protection or

00:04:54.280 --> 00:04:57.009
don\'t see the need to
use protection.

00:04:57.010 --> 00:04:59.109
Why is that?

00:04:59.110 --> 00:05:00.269
- It\'s not...

00:05:00.270 --> 00:05:02.269
be facing right now.

00:05:02.270 --> 00:05:05.639
Because they\'re facing
teenage pregnancy...

00:05:05.640 --> 00:05:09.469
like teenage pregnancy is
very high this side.

00:05:09.470 --> 00:05:14.979
Maybe we really do need help...

00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:16.819
We need guidance.

00:05:16.820 --> 00:05:19.259
- Give me a hug.

00:05:19.260 --> 00:05:22.189
- A Life App could offer
guidance on sexual health.

00:05:22.190 --> 00:05:24.889
The question is how?

00:05:24.890 --> 00:05:26.459
- Hello...

00:05:26.460 --> 00:05:29.729
- In her hunt for inspiration,
Nanzi steps into a local

00:05:29.730 --> 00:05:30.720
internet cafe.

00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:31.180
- Nice to meet you.

00:05:31.181 --> 00:05:32.319
- Nice to meet you, too.

00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:33.899
- How can I help you today?

00:05:33.900 --> 00:05:37.169
- Surrounded by computer
literate kids, Nanzi knows

00:05:37.170 --> 00:05:39.979
they now access the internet
through smartphones as well as

00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:42.539
laptops and internet cafes.

00:05:42.540 --> 00:05:46.269
Many young people still use
SMS, or text messaging.

00:05:46.270 --> 00:05:49.559
Nanzi wants to know what\'s the
best way of building a sexual

00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:50.160
health app.

00:05:50.161 --> 00:05:54.439
- All right, how can one
actually build the application

00:05:54.440 --> 00:05:58.479
that would best meet the
requirements that the youth

00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.819
need when it comes to sex, when
it comes to health, when

00:06:01.820 --> 00:06:05.699
it comes to access of
information in that regard?

00:06:05.700 --> 00:06:08.449
- Traditionally, an SMS gets

00:06:08.450 --> 00:06:11.009
transmitted between two people.

00:06:11.010 --> 00:06:13.369
- Nanzi\'s got lucky.

00:06:13.370 --> 00:06:16.009
The cafe owner is trying to
develop an app that collects

00:06:16.010 --> 00:06:18.559
text messages about sexual
health and lets

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:19.939
people share them.

00:06:19.940 --> 00:06:21.739
- sent in between
those two people.

00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:27.409
So you can create a mobile
application for the whole

00:06:27.410 --> 00:06:30.619
community, so that the community
can be able to

00:06:30.620 --> 00:06:34.219
manage its own health issues.

00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:38.959
It can see how many people who
are infected with this.

00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:41.469
How many people are
taking treatment.

00:06:41.470 --> 00:06:44.609
How many people are
getting better.

00:06:44.610 --> 00:06:45.779
One of those kinds of things.

00:06:45.780 --> 00:06:48.609
It\'s managed by the whole
community, not only health

00:06:48.610 --> 00:06:49.500
care system.

00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:50.260
- Cool.

00:06:50.261 --> 00:06:52.179
I\'m blown away.

00:06:52.180 --> 00:06:56.109
- Zanecebo\'s idea is to help
spread health information by a

00:06:56.110 --> 00:06:59.129
kind of electronic
word of mouth.

00:06:59.130 --> 00:07:02.209
Nanzi thinks his idea could form
the basis of her own Life

00:07:02.210 --> 00:07:06.529
App, communicating sexual health
messages, but there\'s a

00:07:06.530 --> 00:07:08.079
long way to go.

00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:11.469
- So let\'s connect through Skype
and then we can take

00:07:11.470 --> 00:07:16.469
this conversation, and then
let\'s elaborate more on the

00:07:16.470 --> 00:07:19.009
whole idea of mobile
and access to

00:07:19.010 --> 00:07:21.499
information and around...

00:07:21.500 --> 00:07:25.799
how we can actually empower them
using a phone from what I

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.579
do at Bozza, and what you\'re
presently doing with that

00:07:28.580 --> 00:07:30.629
whole health thing.

00:07:30.630 --> 00:07:31.400
- Yes, it\'s the future.

00:07:31.401 --> 00:07:33.019
- Sure, sure.

00:07:33.020 --> 00:07:34.669
Thank you so much.

00:07:34.670 --> 00:07:38.759
- Nanzi\'s Life App is clearly
going to need much more work.

00:07:38.760 --> 00:07:41.709
It\'s a mission she\'s
still working on.

00:07:41.710 --> 00:07:45.389
Nanzi\'s convinced technology
can empower young people.

00:07:45.390 --> 00:07:48.990
And not just in the developing
countries, but the world over.

00:07:54.280 --> 00:07:58.259
London, a 21st century
world city.

00:07:58.260 --> 00:08:01.839
Close to the skyscrapers of
its financial elite lies

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:08.799
Shoreditch, London\'s creative
digital hub, a digital

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.119
incubator and designer heaven.

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:16.869
It\'s all about young people
developing new ideas, making

00:08:16.870 --> 00:08:20.129
money, and also doing
good, including

00:08:20.130 --> 00:08:23.649
with the mobile phone.

00:08:23.650 --> 00:08:26.039
- A mobile phone is a very
powerful tool, and it can

00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.779
empower people around the world.

00:08:28.780 --> 00:08:32.499
And using mobile phone
technology to solve problems

00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:35.289
in one\'s local community
can be a great

00:08:35.290 --> 00:08:37.459
way to create change.

00:08:37.460 --> 00:08:40.629
- One leading charity showing
how mobiles can be used for

00:08:40.630 --> 00:08:45.439
good is CDI, the Center for
Digital Inclusion, based in

00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.269
Brazil but with a branch
here in Shoreditch.

00:08:50.270 --> 00:08:53.059
- The program is called Apps
For Good, and it\'s about

00:08:53.060 --> 00:08:56.749
inspiring young people to become
problem solvers through

00:08:56.750 --> 00:08:59.199
getting them to think through
a process of what is their

00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.579
problem in their local
community, and how can they

00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:06.989
solve it using mobile
technology?

00:09:06.990 --> 00:09:09.469
- Apps For Good are now working
with 50,000 young

00:09:09.470 --> 00:09:15.349
people across Britain creating
mobile, social, and web apps.

00:09:15.350 --> 00:09:18.319
- So we\'re trying to create a
generation of problem solvers

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.659
so that young people can get the
skills that they need to

00:09:22.660 --> 00:09:25.569
actually understand what the
technology is, so that they\'re

00:09:25.570 --> 00:09:29.799
not just consuming technology.

00:09:29.800 --> 00:09:33.559
Apps are definitely not about
money and games, apps are

00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:35.459
about solving a problem.

00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:39.469
And yes, there\'s a huge
commercial industry out there

00:09:39.470 --> 00:09:44.179
doing that, but the main thing
that we advocate is that

00:09:44.180 --> 00:09:47.439
getting young people interested
in the first place

00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:50.639
in being part of the mobile app

00:09:50.640 --> 00:09:54.559
economy is really important.

00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:56.919
- Apps For Good\'s Satwant and
Aaron are working on a

00:09:56.920 --> 00:09:59.079
stop-and-search app.

00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.199
People from ethnic minorities
are two times more likely to

00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.789
be stopped by the police
than white people.

00:10:04.790 --> 00:10:08.259
The app documents and uploads
a user\'s experiences when

00:10:08.260 --> 00:10:10.979
they\'re stopped by the police.

00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:13.249
- So I\'ve been stopped
and searched before.

00:10:13.250 --> 00:10:16.929
Obviously, coming out of Tulse
Hill just next to Brixton,

00:10:16.930 --> 00:10:19.279
that\'s a place where a lot
of people are stopped and

00:10:19.280 --> 00:10:22.219
searched on a daily basis and
not always for the right

00:10:22.220 --> 00:10:23.070
reason as well.

00:10:23.070 --> 00:10:23.890
Do you know what I mean?

00:10:23.891 --> 00:10:27.119
So a lot of the times when I
was stopped and searched, I

00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.519
used to kind of think to myself,
is this the right

00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:31.029
procedure that they\'re
carrying out?

00:10:31.030 --> 00:10:34.449
Am I even allowed to be
stopped for this or...

00:10:34.450 --> 00:10:34.970
you know what I mean?

00:10:34.971 --> 00:10:39.789
So not having that knowledge
just put me in a position

00:10:39.790 --> 00:10:41.129
where I just felt a bit

00:10:41.130 --> 00:10:43.649
disempowered in that situation.

00:10:43.650 --> 00:10:47.529
- So the Stop And Search app
was created in 2010.

00:10:47.530 --> 00:10:49.539
We wanted to help people know
what their rights were when

00:10:49.540 --> 00:10:51.719
they get stopped and searched
by the police in a

00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:53.589
quick and easy way.

00:10:53.590 --> 00:10:57.199
- Once you\'ve downloaded the
app, you click into it, it

00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.449
tells you what you can do and
say, or why you might be

00:11:00.450 --> 00:11:03.409
stopped and searched when you\'re
walking down the road,

00:11:03.410 --> 00:11:05.429
or when you\'re in a vehicle.

00:11:05.430 --> 00:11:07.939
And we\'ve got a section for
photography as well, because a

00:11:07.940 --> 00:11:10.889
lot of reporters and stuff
have issues when they\'re

00:11:10.890 --> 00:11:13.129
filming and stuff with
stop-and-search.

00:11:13.130 --> 00:11:15.839
If you are stopped and searched
now, what you have to

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.429
do is just upload
your experience,

00:11:18.430 --> 00:11:22.549
and that consists of basically
putting your age in, your

00:11:22.550 --> 00:11:27.709
ethnicity, your sex, and then we
just like you to put in the

00:11:27.710 --> 00:11:30.869
officer\'s badge number who
stopped and searched you, and

00:11:30.870 --> 00:11:33.789
the stop and search slip
number, if you get one.

00:11:33.790 --> 00:11:37.899
Also, after that you just
basically rate how you feel

00:11:37.900 --> 00:11:41.209
you were treated by the
officers, and there\'s a set

00:11:41.210 --> 00:11:44.839
criteria of questions here
such as, How valid do you

00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.289
think the reason was for the
stop and search? \" and \" How

00:11:47.290 --> 00:11:49.399
much respect do you feel you
were shown when you were

00:11:49.400 --> 00:11:51.019
stopped and searched?\"

00:11:51.020 --> 00:11:53.739
And while you\'re doing all
this, the app would have

00:11:53.740 --> 00:11:58.119
picked up your location
automatically using GPS.

00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.819
So once you\'ve filled out the
form just upload it, 100%

00:12:01.820 --> 00:12:05.179
anonymously, to the database
and that\'s

00:12:05.180 --> 00:12:06.910
your experience there.

00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:17.499
- Apps For Good is now
working with 400

00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:18.820
schools across the UK.

00:12:21.530 --> 00:12:24.929
One of the first to enroll was
East London Central Foundation

00:12:24.930 --> 00:12:27.319
Girls\' School.

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.809
Pupils are shown how designing
mobile phone apps can help

00:12:30.810 --> 00:12:34.400
young people to identify and
solve everyday problems.

00:12:38.260 --> 00:12:43.499
- An app is something on your
phone that does one thing and

00:12:43.500 --> 00:12:46.029
one thing only really,
really well.

00:12:46.030 --> 00:12:49.849
- Why is it good to be able
to solve problems?

00:12:49.850 --> 00:12:52.749
- Because you\'re going to face
them every day, and Apps For

00:12:52.750 --> 00:12:56.699
Good teaches you how to think of
a problem in a creative way

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:59.029
and not taking it as an, \"Oh
my god, this is going to go

00:12:59.030 --> 00:13:02.479
completely wrong.\" No, let\'s
try and solve it.

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.329
Creativity and your imagination
absolutely has no

00:13:05.330 --> 00:13:08.329
limits so as long as you\'ve got
ideas up here, you can do

00:13:08.330 --> 00:13:10.639
anything with them.

00:13:10.640 --> 00:13:12.249
Knowledge is, like, a gift.

00:13:12.250 --> 00:13:16.089
You have to use it for the
good of everyone really.

00:13:16.090 --> 00:13:18.289
Otherwise, what\'s the point of
having it if you\'re going to

00:13:18.290 --> 00:13:20.559
be selfish with it?

00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:21.649
My app is called Buzzer Buddiez.

00:13:21.650 --> 00:13:23.799
It\'s available on the
Android market.

00:13:23.800 --> 00:13:25.399
It\'s an alarm clock
with a twist.

00:13:25.400 --> 00:13:28.569
It asks you time and
date, as usual, and

00:13:28.570 --> 00:13:29.360
then it asks you why.

00:13:29.361 --> 00:13:31.379
And this is your chance to
record a reason why you need

00:13:31.380 --> 00:13:32.969
to wake up.

00:13:32.970 --> 00:13:35.349
- Some young people find it
hard to wake up in the

00:13:35.350 --> 00:13:39.009
morning, so the girls here
have designed the Buzzer

00:13:39.010 --> 00:13:40.519
Buddiez app.

00:13:40.520 --> 00:13:42.679
- So this is a step-by-step
process to

00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:44.689
set up a Buzzer Buddy.

00:13:44.690 --> 00:13:45.939
So you set your time.

00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:49.169
You can choose to repeat
it on a date so maybe

00:13:49.170 --> 00:13:51.539
on weekdays or weekends.

00:13:51.540 --> 00:13:56.809
You can label the alarm, and
then you set your recording,

00:13:56.810 --> 00:13:58.789
so it\'s anything that you\'d
like to do, your

00:13:58.790 --> 00:14:00.269
reason to wake up.

00:14:00.270 --> 00:14:02.949
After that, you can choose your
Buzzer Buddy, so this is

00:14:02.950 --> 00:14:06.860
anyone from your contact list,
and you write a message.

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:14.169
So after you\'re happy with your
message, you press Save,

00:14:14.170 --> 00:14:16.969
and the you save your alarm
and you\'re ready to go.

00:14:16.970 --> 00:14:20.189
- For the course organizers,
the pupils\' enthusiasm and

00:14:20.190 --> 00:14:24.439
success show how mobile phone
apps can help solve problems,

00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.029
not just in London but
across the world.

00:14:28.030 --> 00:14:31.959
- Mobile technology is a great
way to empower young people

00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:36.429
throughout the world, and our
cause is actually about doing

00:14:36.430 --> 00:14:39.939
that so that they become the
problem solvers, and they can

00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:42.709
do that globally.

00:14:42.710 --> 00:14:46.049
- So, let\'s look back at what
the Life App designers from

00:14:46.050 --> 00:14:48.170
across the series have achieved.

00:14:51.850 --> 00:14:56.239
In Africa, Life Apps visited
Kenya and met William, who\'s a

00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.070
farmer in rural Ugenya.

00:15:16.750 --> 00:15:19.549
The challenge was to see if a
Life App could help William

00:15:19.550 --> 00:15:22.339
farm more efficiently.

00:15:22.340 --> 00:15:25.979
The team Life Apps invited
to help William lived 300

00:15:25.980 --> 00:15:28.860
kilometers east in Nairobi,
Kenya\'s capital.

00:15:40.160 --> 00:15:43.169
Muniu\'s start-up company,
Bityarn, has been going for

00:15:43.170 --> 00:15:45.129
just over a year.

00:15:45.130 --> 00:15:48.659
Kenyan film director Toni, who
helped come up with the Life

00:15:48.660 --> 00:15:53.169
Apps idea, filmed Muniu
developing his Life App, a

00:15:53.170 --> 00:15:56.250
mobile application for small
scale farmers like William.

00:16:03.090 --> 00:16:04.579
- Hello.

00:16:04.580 --> 00:16:05.830
- Hello, Mr. William.

00:16:09.310 --> 00:16:12.319
- William didn\'t know how much
his speciality vegetables

00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:16.340
could fetch at the biggest
local market.

00:16:43.810 --> 00:16:46.349
- So when Muniu\'s team came up
with an app that would help

00:16:46.350 --> 00:16:48.119
share information and costs like

00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.620
transport, it was well received.

00:16:54.130 --> 00:16:58.269
- You should have seen the smile
on those guy\'s faces.

00:16:58.270 --> 00:17:01.310
The smile on the other end is
what gives you the drive.

00:17:03.030 --> 00:17:06.009
- His company, Bityarn, is still
looking for an investor

00:17:06.010 --> 00:17:08.210
to help take his Life
App forward.

00:17:15.100 --> 00:17:19.839
Still in Africa, Life Apps
also traveled to Namibia.

00:17:19.840 --> 00:17:22.779
Local software designer Dalton
set off on a voyage of

00:17:22.780 --> 00:17:25.679
discovery in his own homeland.

00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.299
His challenge was to design
a Life App to

00:17:28.300 --> 00:17:30.050
help the Himba people.

00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.889
-Dalton and his colleague,
Lameck, had to use plenty of

00:17:45.890 --> 00:17:49.339
tact to work out how a Life
App might be able to help

00:17:49.340 --> 00:17:52.879
these highly independent nomads.

00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.849
- Do the women from the Himba
community go to school?

00:17:56.850 --> 00:18:00.549
- The Himba are familiar with
technology, but most can\'t

00:18:00.550 --> 00:18:02.310
read or write.

00:18:14.260 --> 00:18:16.159
- It is day two.

00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:20.929
We have been up the whole
night basically.

00:18:20.930 --> 00:18:23.389
- Then, a brain wave.

00:18:23.390 --> 00:18:26.609
If literacy was a problem, how
about an app that translates

00:18:26.610 --> 00:18:32.239
text into speech using
simple software

00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:34.209
downloaded from the internet.

00:18:34.210 --> 00:18:37.489
- The Life App that we managed
to come up with

00:18:37.490 --> 00:18:39.759
is I Love My Voice.

00:18:39.760 --> 00:18:43.179
- So I think that\'s simple but
I\'d think it\'d be a very

00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:45.659
useful app for them, so we\'re
going to be going out today

00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:48.029
and we\'re going to be testing
it, and see how the reaction

00:18:48.030 --> 00:18:50.770
is from the community.

00:19:18.950 --> 00:19:20.819
- I feel absolutely good.

00:19:20.820 --> 00:19:27.349
I wish and I hope we\'ll take
some more time and really just

00:19:27.350 --> 00:19:30.480
go back to the community
and give back again.

00:19:37.360 --> 00:19:40.749
- Dalton is now working on
developing his app with Himba

00:19:40.750 --> 00:19:44.180
accents, and will return to
the North in the future.

00:19:53.420 --> 00:19:58.099
In Asia, Life Apps travelled to
India, where the challenge

00:19:58.100 --> 00:20:02.699
to design an app was taken up
by software hotshot, Sachin.

00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:07.029
Based in the capital of Delhi,
Sachin\'s goal is to use apps

00:20:07.030 --> 00:20:08.430
to help the less fortunate.

00:20:11.540 --> 00:20:15.959
- My quest is to find answers to
help people who are living

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:20.239
at the bottom of the
economic pyramid.

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:23.119
- It\'s Sachin\'s long held
ambition to help India\'s

00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:25.720
millions of beleaguered
small-scale farmers.

00:20:28.150 --> 00:20:31.989
So he undertook a 2,000
kilometer journey to see for

00:20:31.990 --> 00:20:34.790
himself how he could help
farmers like Vijya.

00:20:51.460 --> 00:20:55.029
It\'s stories like this that make
Sachin determined to use

00:20:55.030 --> 00:20:59.249
his technological skills to
help small-scale farmers.

00:20:59.250 --> 00:21:02.579
- We want to do something for
them, we want to build

00:21:02.580 --> 00:21:03.829
something for them.

00:21:03.830 --> 00:21:08.370
Can I come to her again and
show her what I can build?

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:13.060
Thank you.

00:21:13.061 --> 00:21:14.310
Thank you.

00:21:17.620 --> 00:21:21.809
- Back in Delhi, Sachin and his
team came up with a Life

00:21:21.810 --> 00:21:25.469
App which would allow farmers
to spread their ideas by

00:21:25.470 --> 00:21:28.029
simply making a voice recording
and uploading it

00:21:28.030 --> 00:21:30.489
using the app, so they
could share it

00:21:30.490 --> 00:21:33.700
with the whole community.

00:21:46.030 --> 00:21:49.409
- From here I want to develop
this application, make it more

00:21:49.410 --> 00:21:55.189
robust, and take it through the
pilots, those trials, and

00:21:55.190 --> 00:22:00.319
make it something which can
be adopted nationwide.

00:22:00.320 --> 00:22:03.560
So a long way to go, it\'s just
the beginning of the project.

00:22:10.730 --> 00:22:14.419
- From rural India to the
dramatic setting of Brazil\'s

00:22:14.420 --> 00:22:17.429
Rio de Janeiro.

00:22:17.430 --> 00:22:21.129
Here, the Life Apps challenge
was eagerly accepted by

00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:22.410
software designer Pedro.

00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.589
Pedro\'s challenge was to come up
with a Life App that could

00:22:47.590 --> 00:22:50.830
help the millions who live in
Rio\'s favelas, or shantytowns.

00:23:10.330 --> 00:23:13.319
Pedro realized that using
a single Life App

00:23:13.320 --> 00:23:14.570
was going to be tough.

00:23:32.320 --> 00:23:35.909
Together with his colleagues,
Pedro finally settled on one

00:23:35.910 --> 00:23:38.450
daring idea.

00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:53.269
Pedro\'s Life App is a smartphone
game that allows

00:23:53.270 --> 00:23:56.939
players to plant seeds in a
virtual garden and watch the

00:23:56.940 --> 00:23:58.619
virtual plants grow.

00:23:58.620 --> 00:24:02.469
For every virtual plant, there\'s
a real one planted in

00:24:02.470 --> 00:24:05.560
the favela\'s community
vegetable garden.

00:24:18.110 --> 00:24:21.679
Pedro believes his Life App
could change how people think

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:24.420
about technology and life
in the favelas.

00:24:43.540 --> 00:24:45.349
- Yes, apps do make money.

00:24:45.350 --> 00:24:49.809
Yes, apps are used to play
games, but that\'s not the only

00:24:49.810 --> 00:24:51.479
use of apps.

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:56.199
Young people have a lot of
talent and given the right

00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:01.539
steer, they can help solve the
problems that are happening.

00:25:01.540 --> 00:25:04.589
They\'re not always given the
opportunity to do so.

00:25:04.590 --> 00:25:07.719
It is important to show them
that you do believe in their

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.829
ideas, you do believe that
they can actually be the

00:25:11.830 --> 00:25:14.909
problem solvers, to solve their
own problems, and to

00:25:14.910 --> 00:25:17.869
create something that
will actually help

00:25:17.870 --> 00:25:21.579
them and their community.

00:25:21.580 --> 00:25:26.549
- For the Life App designers
in Namibia, Brazil, South

00:25:26.550 --> 00:25:32.419
Africa, in India, and Kenya,
researching the need for a

00:25:32.420 --> 00:25:34.579
Life App has revealed
new realities

00:25:34.580 --> 00:25:36.809
in their own countries.

00:25:36.810 --> 00:25:39.509
The Life App designers learned
about the lives of those who

00:25:39.510 --> 00:25:42.669
are missing out on development,
made some new

00:25:42.670 --> 00:25:45.700
friends, and shared some
inspiring moments.
