You can't prosper as a country unless you educate girls
Dr Kakenya Ntaiya has set up a school where parents must agree that their girls will not undergo the tribal ritual of circumcision and will not be married before they finish school. The Kakenya Center for Excellence has already transformed the lives of more than 230 young women in Kenya Africa through education. Some of the girls have studied in Australia and directors were told about it this week at an Ashurst luncheon- an inspiring story including how Kakenya agreed to have the circumcision ritual so other girls would not have to undergo it.https://www.kakenyasdream.org

A drone that leads the way in mapping underground
Hovermap technology allows drones to collect data in underground areas, or other locations in which GPS is not reliable. It's the result of a decade of research from CSIRO's robotics and autonomous systems group. The drones can be deployed without a human controller and can create 3D maps, record gas readings and take images and videos.. They are equipped with lasers, which let them detect the environment around them. The CSIRO ON accelerator program, was the catalyst for the commercialisation of the venture. http://www.emesent.io/
