We’ve met Mathew Lubari at re:publica, where he showed us how to transform both waste and digital literacy.
Through his organization, CC4D, he teaches kids in Rhino Camp Uganda, and Yei, South Sudan, to repair broken appliances and turn unfixable scraps into new inventions.
It goes deeper than just hardware. By teaching these hands-on skills, he helps children navigate the complexities of our digital world with confidence. Watching him work in the maker space with the kids—including my own—was a masterclass in resilience and self-reliance.
This is the practical, grounded work that gives me real hope.
Check out the video below to meet him.
