The Ugandan inventor revolutionising humanitarian relief

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Meet Ugandan inventor Grace Nakibaala, the creator of EpiTent. It's a breathable, semi-permanent structure which can be deployed during humanitarian emergencies. The tent's unique design allows fresh air to flow in and out, keeping those inside cool when outdoor temperatures are high. Grace tells Focus on Africa's Bola Mosuro how her invention works and explains what she calls the thin line between architecture and health. (Photo: Grace Nakibaala, Credit: Grace Nakibaala)
