This week we look at two projects that show how sport can be a powerful tool for social inclusion.We go rowing with some refugees in Seville, Spain, and discover how being part of a crew has helped both adults and kids feel part of their new community.And we join a special scheme in southern England that uses football coaching to break down barriers between police officers and local young people. The project is run by Brighton and Hove Albion Foundation in partnership with Sussex Police. People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

While some of this is inevitable, some can be reversible through rehabilitation.The WHO says 2.6 billion people could benefit from rehabilitation services but in low and middle income countries fewer than half receive these services. We’ve found three projects which help promote independence and a better quality of life.We hear how training doctors and nurses in basic rehabilitation skills is changing lives and communities in rural areas in countries as diverse as Uganda, China and Fiji.We find out about the bracelets which look set to reverse some effects of Stroke and open the door to recovery.

The global rhino population has fallen by 95% since 1900, mainly due to poaching. Now an atomic approach is being used to stop the poachers in South Africa by placing radioactive material into the horns of rhinos.
