Venus 2.0, a bag enabling children to study despite lack of electricity or harsh, is a new technology. It is an e-textiles made possible because of industrial symbiosis. Venus 2.0 uses recycled materials , ,renewable energy (solar energy) and special features such as comfort, storage facilities, where girls can put their pads,braille and smooth writable surfaces.
It is designed mainly to help students who do are disadvantaged to study. It is made of recycled products that are not to be sold but leased or donated.
There is also a need of clothing brands to rate worker conditions on their care labels (care labels because we care) to discourage buying of garments and textiles with poor working conditions particularly for women.
Venus 2.0 is a bag that proves goods can be created and consumed but still be renewable, recyclable , and reusable because its parts are recycled.
It helps children who have challenges when it comes to access proper education or study to study. Children without classrooms to learn in day and night and give children a virtue of hope.
Venus 2.0 will prove a circular economy is possible and for all.
Care labels (because we care) should rate (with stars) their working conditions to make garment and textiles business accountable for the way they treat their workers. Ecosystem benefit all whether living or non living and a circular economy does to.

When I, Ngoza was a semi-sugo (11th grader) in 2017 I had a mid-term coming up and a day before power was down due to load shedding. I was in panic what was i to do? It was 21 hours all the shops near my home were closed and the candle i had was about 5 cm and i had to make the best out of the little I had.
At that moment I was one of the billion people without electricity. It affected my grades and self esteem when it came to school work. In Zambia, load shedding is the norm and it affects a lot of learners.
I want learners to not to feel the way i felt and not to be disadvantaged. Zambia performs poorly when it comes to school, with girls dropping out of school as early as grade 4 we do not another reason for developing countries like Zambia to have poor educational results. It costs a developing countries its GDP when thus happens.
I hope hope in the next coming years will stay in school, study despite challenges, equal opportunity to all despite challenges and increase in academic results.
I am a woman and being oppressed is not a good feeling , seeing another women struggling is even worse. With the rated care labels I want them to be safe and have fair working conditions .A care label could help one women or child out we should try because we care.

They are two members on this team. We are not staff because we do not work; we do this because we love to catalyse change. We do do the work full-time.
My team have had the problem and we feel this solution would have helped us but most importantly will help others. We live in a country with load shedding and know the problem we faced because we love it. To be in the shoes of the victims you want to help pushes you to make the best change for them.
We were also members of Young Social Innovators (YSI) club for three years, the lead being the publicist for one year and president for two consecutive years, and the lead having done needlework course in school and a member of Zambia Robotics 2019 enabled us to create a project thats sustainable to the environment and helpful to learners.
I, Ngoza Mwansa, have a grandmother whose illiterate but a son ( my dad) who has a masters in finance. How? It is the slight change in a generation to invoke the importance of education that causes a change. From first hand experience I know that slight changes in the way things are done can create great change.
We just want to cause change. We do not have enough funds, media coverage to show awareness and want our voices to be heard.
We think Solve will solve the problem. We think solve could provide funds for change, and media coverage.

Care labels that rate working conditions would help women because they dominate in the garment and textile industry.
Venus 2.0 will decrease girls that drop out of school that consequently, get married too early.
