Celebrating a decade of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), CGTN’s Dan Williams takes us on a journey across Africa to uncover projects shaping communities and futures. 🌱 From tech-driven poverty solutions to green energy breakthroughs, here’s how collaboration is sparking change:
Kenya: Solar Tablets Light Up Lives
In rural Kenya, solar-powered tablets are flipping the script on poverty. Villagers now access education, weather forecasts, and market prices—all through renewable energy. 🌞 One farmer told Dan, 'This isn’t just tech—it’s hope.'
Djibouti: Rails, Skills, and New Horizons
At the Luban Workshop, young Africans master railway maintenance for the Addis Ababa-Djibouti line—a BRI backbone. 🚆 'We’re not just building trains; we’re building careers,' says instructor Amal Hassan. Talk about #SkillsForSuccess!
South Africa: Green Energy Meets Wildlife
Chinese firms are partnering with South African reserves to develop solar and wind projects that power communities without harming ecosystems. 🌿🦁 'Clean energy lets nature thrive,' explains conservationist Thando Mbeki.
With 150+ countries now part of BRI, this anniversary isn’t just about infrastructure—it’s about people. And Africa’s youth are leading the charge. 💪
