Meet Ernesto Cabral, a former laboratory technician from Cabo Verde

Seventy-eight year-old Ernesto Cabral understands altruism. It runs in his veins.

Ernesto is the nephew of one of Africa’s foremost anti-colonial leaders and Cabo Verde’s national hero, Amílcar Cabral.

While his uncle dedicated his life to fight colonial powers in Africa, Ernesto chose to fight a disease that kills an African child every minute: malaria.
