Musician and environmental activist Feliciano dos Santos has been using his band Massukos as a teaching tool.

As he travels throughout his homeland in Mozambique playing the band’s rhythmic, catchy pop music, Santos sings in local languages about good hygiene.

“They need to know about disease that comes from water,” says Santos. “They need to know about the environment, about sanitation.” Santos contracted polio as a child through contaminated water. It led to the partial removal of a leg and a lifetime of discrimination. “I want to teach the community to avoid having these kinds of problems.”
