Take a look around the floating school in Nigeria's Makoka village that can take 100 children as it balances on recycled plastic barrels. Makoka is a slum neighbourhood built on a lagoon in Lagos. The school is designed to adapt to changing water levels and floods. It will provide free education for many local children who live in the fishing village. The school brings hope to a community of around 100,000 people who live in an area known as the 'Venice of Africa'.
