Video Description

Imagine you pick up a phone, dial a number, and it rings. The voice on the other end is crystal clear. But here's the twist—there's no sim card in the phone, no airtime and no network provider. Sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, doesn't it? But it's not. This is the story of Simon Petrus, a young man who didn’t wait for the world to change—he built the change himself. His invention didn’t just challenge technology—it redefined the way people in Africa could communicate. And it all started with a simple, unstoppable question: 'Why not?' Simon comes from OshitishaHaihonya village in Namibia's Ohangwena Region. Transport happens once daily if you're lucky. Most teenagers here dream of escaping to the city. Simon dreamed of bringing the city's technology to villages like his.
