From a young age, Noah Shemede believed that his destiny was in the water. His father, brothers, and uncles were all fishermen, and their fathers before them. This is the life of the average male in Makoko, Africa’s largest floating slum.
But after schooling in the city, Noah returns with a dream – to transform the lives of the children living in Makoko through education. It is not an easy task because education is almost a foreign concept.
But, with a team of volunteers, Noah builds a raft on the water, which will serve as a school for the children of Makoko.
In a country that is ranked as the poverty capital of the world, has the world’s highest number of out-of-school children, and millions of its populace reeling under the impact of COVID-19, Noah’s Raft is an inspiring story of one man’s desire to bring change to his community
