Friday lives in Makoko a slum area right on top of the sea in Lagos, Nigeria.
For the most part Friday is happy in his day-to-day life, but he has big dreams to educate everyone in Makoko about climate change. During rainy season, many houses flood and children fall into the water – but using good bamboo could stop this from happening.
This report is part of the documentary ‘Voices of our Ocean’, which is being shown in connection with the UN’s ongoing climate summit in Brazil. In their own words and with selected images, they talk about their relationship with the sea, the urgent need to protect it and how climate change is affecting and transforming their lives. Hear each of them share their story.
