The former French colony of Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world. Life expectancy is just 44 and infant mortality, according to the UN, is the second highest in the world. One in five children die before they are five years old. Niger also suffers from a poor education system, poor access to contraception and an extremely high rate of teenage pregnancy. It really is a fight for survival – but there are signs that is beginning to change. Centres to help advise people on how to make the best of food are being developed – but what impact will they have? 'Survivor’s Guide' finds out by following a young woman and her baby girl as they endure the daily struggle to find enough to eat.

Birth is a treacherous business, especially in Africa where every year up to half a million babies die on the day they are born. Evelyn Katunge, from Kenya, knows about the heartbreak of losing babies. She was just 18 when she gave birth. She had no idea she was carrying twins. They died hours after being born. There were complications with the birth and there was no effective healthcare. But that is beginning to change. Pioneering programmes are being introduced to prevent similar tragedies. Survivor's Guide tells Evelyn's story and looks at the work of experts like Dr. Abhay Bang in India, who has developed new methods of support and help for mothers not just in Africa but around the world.

CARE International is known throughout the world for its relief efforts of countries in need. This three-part program takes viewers to various countries in Africa to view how members of CARE handle their humanitarian projects. Part 1: Drought in Africa - Parts of Southern Africa are dealing with the longest drought in memory; the lives of millions are at risk. This part of the program looks at the ugly face of drought and documents the effects that two years without rain have had on the rural communities of Zambia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Part 2: Roads - Considered the economic backbone of any economy, roads play a very important role in the distribution of food and aid throughout Mozambique. This part of the program documents the community-wide efforts involved in creating a reliable system of roads in this country. Part 3: Food Transportation - CARE distributes more food to countries in need than any other organization in the world. Here we see how this massive effort takes place; we follow the path food and supplies take from the port cities of eastern Kenya to the drought stricken villages of the north.

Africa's development is being held back by its poor infrastructure and undersize power plants. Countries like Uganda can only produce only a quarter of the energy needed, leading to daily power cuts with disastrous impact on the economy. It's a golden opportunity for companies like French nuclear giant, Areva, who lobby aggressively for more power plants in Africa. But how safe are these new reactors? And what do they mean for the local population? Ever since the first reactor was built in Congo in 1958, there have been concerns about its safety. In 2007, the head of the research institute was arrested for illegally selling nuclear fuel rods. Today Congo remains dangerously unstable – but sees its future in atomic energy and is planning more power stations. In Niger, the 'Uranium Highway' runs through rebel territory. A branch of Al-Qaida is operating in this area and transporting radioactive material has become even more dangerous since war broke out in neighbouring Mali in early 2013. Areva wants to open a new mine in the area but the opening has been delayed by three years because of Al-Qaida attacks.
New nuclear power plants in Africa also mean more uranium mining, contaminating the environment and endangering the local population. Radiation levels around some mines are dangerously high and there has been a sharp increase in birth deformities. Frequently, protesters like Golden Misabiko are thrown into jail or even murdered. We investigate the actions of the nuclear industry in Africa.

Scientists in Australia, where it was first recorded, are working on research to find out how it occurs and why outbreaks are so localized. They hope their research will help the tens of thousands of people who suffer from Buruli ulcers, particularly in Africa.

In March 2007, as a meningitis epidemic was raging in Burkina Faso, we filmed a poignant and revealing account of the devastating impact meningitis epidemics have on individuals, families, and communities. Meningitis is a deadly infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and the spinal cord. Thousands of cases are reported but many aren’t, meaning the true scale of the damage caused by the disease causes is far higher than is published. Routine reporting systems break down during epidemics, and many die before they can reach help. Those who survive it are often left with a damaged nervous system and a host of disabilities.
