Where Transformation Requires Innovations

I know of a place where transformation requires innovations, in fact without innovations, transformation is almost impossible in this tribal village. This is a village where there is no clean drinking water and from where you would have to walk 20 miles to get to the nearest hospital. Where education is not an option and employment opportunities are non-existent.
This is a village where people are willing to work but have no jobs. They are eager to send their kids to school but have no schools and they sure do fall ill, only to suffer through it and escape death miraculously each time. This is a place where the need is so great and the hurdles so tall that the transformation these people yearn for, is impossible without innovations.
For us, this is the kind of crisis that we have set out to solve. Rural Innovations Company is working with tribal villages in Jharkhand, India to provide business solutions for their socio-economic problems using innovations.
Innovations that look for answers in all aspects of problem solving; from everyday solutions discovered in the course of living life to techniques derived from advances in science and technology. This is how we are bringing about the transformation of these tribal villages, one village at a time.
Check us out at http://www.ruralinnovations.com to find out how you can become a part of this solution. If you have an idea on how we can do something better, please do share it with us.
