BBC World Service - Project 17, Goal 3: Good health

Seventeen 17-year-olds tell us what they want from the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Victoline suffered from malaria a few years ago. She wants to know if a trial vaccine can eradicate the disease and help Kenya reach the UN Sustainable Development Goal on health.

The United Nations announced a radical plan to change the world in 2015.

Global leaders drew up a list of 17 "sustainable development goals" to create a blueprint for a better future. Governments agreed to support the goals which cover gender equality, access to clean water, a good education and much more. Now, 17-year-olds from 17 different countries tell us how they want the world to change.

Victoline lives in Kenya and she suffered from malaria a few years ago. She wants to know if a new vaccine could eradicate the disease in Africa and stop hundreds of thousands of children from dying every year. She talks to doctors, politicians and other teenagers about the science, the economics and the practicalities of fighting malaria.

Project 17 is a unique collaboration between the BBC World Service and the Open University.

Presenter: Sana Safi. Producer: Bob Howard.
