This week's episode features Michelle & Jeremy.
Michelle is a 16-year-old Ocean Hero, Conrad Challenge Innovator and Technovation Regional Winner from Kisumu, Kenya. After participating in the Ocean Heroes virtual Boot-camp 2020, Michelle and her brother, Jeremy, decided that they wanted to embark on a journey to restore Lake Victoria, starting by eradicating plastic pollution. They started Osiepe Sango (Friends of Lake Victoria), an organization working towards restoring Lake Victoria to its pristine condition through the Bring Back Lake Victoria campaign. Her campaign has managed to not only start a conversation on plastic pollution in the Lake Victoria Basin but also mobilize people around East Africa and the world to restore Lake Victoria. She and her brother are now building an app to collect data on plastic pollution in the Lake Basin. She is passionate about finding ways for developing countries to grow their economies without obliterating their natural resources.
