Edmilson Angelo is the founder and Director at Change 1s Life, a UK-registered charity helping those facing poverty across Sub-Saharan Africa by supplying food, clean water, clothes, medical aid and education. The charity has distributed over 450,000kg of food and clothes to over 1.5 million people.

In this episode we talk about the importance of local community-driven solutions, involving children in decision-making and opportunities for positive change within the aid sector. Edmilson gives us a clear message of optimism and encourages us all to "be the change we want to see in the world".

Edmilson is humble, genuine and honest, and shares so many uplifting and empowering words of wisdom. For anyone looking for a mood-booster or for some tips about how to make a positive impact in the world, this is an episode for you.
