There are many students on campuses across America who are working on solutions for the developing world. These solutions range from $2 birth kits that prevent women in India from giving birth in unsanitary conditions and solar lights, to corn shellers, irrigation pumps and bicycle-powered phone chargers. However, students fall short if/when they don't figure out the sustainable mechanisms to bring the product to market. The students who succeed create win- win solutions for entrepreneurs in the developing world who can increase their personal income by being distributors and resellers. Kiva, and other microfinance organizations, may serve as a platform for American students who are looking at those types of world-changing solutions.
