Quality healthcare is out of reach for many Nigerians due to high levels of poverty and a lack of alternative options for healthcare financing. Additionally, less than 10 per cent of waste in the country is recycled.
In Episode 5, Jack Farren talks to Nonso Opurum, the Founder of SOSO Care, an innovative social enterprise allowing customers to pay for health insurance with recycled waste.
They discuss the unique approach of the company, discuss recent documentary coverage with BBC Africa and Reuters, and hear how a chance encounter provided Nonso with the first idea for SOSO Care.
