A Similar Model of Development

KickStart is an organization that works to get people out of poverty quickly, cost-effectively and sustainably.

Here is their 5 step model that could be an great source of inspiration for my model:

1. Identify Opportunities - what business will be profitable for this people, in this place?
2. Design products - what new tools will make this possible?
3. Establish a Supply Chain - how can we produce this?
4. Develop the Market - how do we convince someone with little money to make a big investment?
5. Measure and Move Along - is it going as we planned?

KickStart believes:

-If tackling poverty then tackle rural poverty as 70% of the poorest people live in rural communities

- The poor does not need money, she needs ways to make money

- You canot develop a technology to address a problem without fully undestanding the local culture
