Malawi's waste warriors

Presenter Myra Anubi is in Malawi to meet those making the most of the country's waste.

What do you do with your waste if you live somewhere that doesn鈥檛 have the infrastructure to deal with it? Turns out there are some really simple solutions. Presenter Myra Anubi is in Malawi where she meets the cafe owner in the capital Lilongwe who has set up a recycling hub as well as the women making valuable compost from food scraps and animal dung. Plus Myra visits the Kib茅b茅 workshop in the Dzaleka refugee camp where refugees are finding employment and meaning by turning used materials into clothing and toys.
