Beyond Prototypes: Building African Climate Technology | Norah Magero

As a mother in rural eastern Kenya, Norah Magero experienced firsthand how hard it was to get vaccines and other heat-sensitive medicines when she needed them. That experience became the starting point for a much bigger question: how do you build a cold-chain solution that actually works for the realities of African communities?In this episode of Sustainably Speaking Africa, Tobias Belle talks to Norah, co-founder and CEO of Drop Access, about the journey from identifying a real problem to building VacciBox, a portable, solar-powered cold-chain solution that gives rural clinics cold storage where there is none and keeps vaccines and other heat-sensitive medicines within the required temperature range on the road.If you enjoyed this video please "like" and "share" it with your friends to show your support for this course.
