This eposide features Charlot Magayi, born and raised in Mukuru - one of the biggest slums in Nairobi Kenya. She grew up in a community where cooking with a lot of fuel was a norm. But when she and her own child started getting sick from the fumes that were emited by the regular stove, she took it upon herself to improve her life, while at the same time improving the lives of all underpriviledged people in Africa.
She put herself through college and used her skills to create a stove that would use less fuel, emit less fumes and reduce the likelihood of getting burnt. Having dropped out of school at 16, it took a lot of commitment and determination to even start on a journey to save the world. Mukuru Stoves have become internationally known and Charlot has won awards for her environmental awarenes. Change can come from the most humble of beginings, but strength comes from some of the harshest. Charlot has made it through both and come out on top.

1000 African Voices is more than just a podcast. It is a project aimed at breaking down the boundaries that divide us as a people. The boundaries that divide our beautiful continent of Africa.

Over the coming years we will do this by collecting and sharing stories from all parts of Africa. Stories from our sisters in Ghana, our brothers in Nigeria, our uncles in Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. From Malawi to Cameroon, Ethiopia to Libya, Cairo to Harare we will connect with as many people as we can. Our aim is to record and publish 1000 African Voices. So we invite all fellow Africans on the continent and in the diaspora to be part of the Kuungana Africa Project.

Kuungana is a Swahili word for connect. Our task is to connect with the 1 billion inhabitants of our beautiful continent

1000 African Voices is more than just a podcast.

This episode features Avhurengwi Nengovhela - a man who dreams of an Africa without boundaries. An Africa that has a people that see themselves as one. 
Avhurengwi started the podcast 1000 African voices because, after listening to his favourite podcast, he wanted to hear the voices of Africans in podcasts. He wanted the world to know that there was much more to Africa that what is put out there. He wanted the African child to know that they are more than what other people try to make of them.
He has successfully interviewed 150 voices in different countries and different careers; others living outside their home countries, and still longing for the loving feeling of home. But each of those voices has had a different impact on him and on the audience. It is those subtle inspirational moments that have driven him thus far. It is those moments that keep Africa on his mind. And it is those moments that he enjoys sharing with the world.
