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.
