VIDEO:  Garbage City: Taking Recycling to A New Level
 
 
Manshayt Nasser, commonly known as Garbage City, is home to tens of thousands of garbage collectors that try to keep the city of Cairo, Egypt clean. They live off the trash of others. In this world of dirt and disease, a few local youth are educating young children and providing hot water for those living within the city. Their work definitely takes leadership and sustainability to a new level.
