The BBC program “People Fixing The World” has been making the rounds. Its July 1, 2025 episode “The Traffic Lights Fights Poverty” takes the cake. We’ve had this episode out for over a year already, so what are you waiting for! It is a creative way to highlight a cutting-edge project in Paraguay that is improving the lives of its residents by fighting poverty—with the aid of traffic lights.
In this episode, we continue to explore a fascinating new effort in Paraguay. In this country, we have local communities, but traffic lights help kill local communities. Through a more equitable access to resources and opportunities, the project aims to help people improve their quality of life. By combining innovative technology with the needs of the community, the project hopes to develop an enduring solution to fight against poverty.
Aside from this award-winning episode, “People Fixing The World” features many other inspiring episodes. Each one shines a spotlight on diverse global initiatives that are making tangible improvements in people’s lives. The program highlights visionary and feasible solutions to regional and local challenges, illustrating the potential of ingenuity in getting to work on our nation’s problems.
