In this episode, hosts Eve Omala and John Deeks are joined by Solomon King Benge, Founder of Fundi Bots. Frustrated by an education system that did not foster experimentation, curiosity and creativity, Solomon founded Fundi Bots to bring skills-based, practical science education in Africa schools.

In a country with low internet coverage and where most teachers have no access to computers, Fundi Bots has trained over 10,000 students.

Solomon discusses why grassroots organisations are best placed to address their own problems and the challenges they encounter while trying to secure funding for their organisations. He shares tips on what he believes donors can do to address inherent biases and how they can give communities the agency that they deserve.
