Technology for the poor

Creating innovative solutions customized for the developing countries and the poor people would improve their status and supply them with badly needed solutions. The major source of innovation is the developed world. They are normally targeting mainly their problems and they challenges and the third world is only the extension of their markets in additional to their countries.
The majority of the people in the third world and the developing world can not afford the expensive solutions and products of them.
We should have home grown solutions for the problems and challenges facing the developing world and dedicated for the poor people.

The following are examples of these simple but effective and innovative solutions.
- There are still so many communities in Africa who don't have clean water supply. This was a major source of diseases because of the polluted and contaminated water. The proposed solution was very simple and very accessible. Expose the water the transparent water bottle to the sum rays for at least one hour. The UV will kill the micro-organisms and the water will be relatively drinkable and safe.

- The Indian inventor who invented small car priced as 1000 dollars. This is definitely product well customized for the poor people.
- India will start to manufacture the cheapest laptop. Its price will be 35 USD!!!.
- Bicycle is an important transportation mean for the poor people. It's price is not yet fully affordable to the all rural people in the developing world. It should be manufactured using materials and cost effective manufacturing technologies.
- Same for health and cheap medicine like what South Africa and India are doing.
- Electricity generators in the rural areas instead of connecting them with the national electricity grid. Cheap and cost effective solar energy based generators.
This is achievable by the cost effective mass production like what China is doing for the appliances and mobile sets.
The products have to be consistent with the buying power of the poor people and the products should be useful and helpful to convert them to be more productive and improve their well being and their contribution in the society.
