SAFE AFFORDABLE VENTILATORS FOR ALL

OLD PROBLEM, NEW CONTEXT
Vulnerable peoples facing hard economic realities must innovative daily as a way of life. That's why our programming is meant for high-potential individuals from vulnerable backgrounds like urban slums, conflict, areas, and refugee camps.
We believe that these individuals will be the most incentivized to create wildly impactful social ventures that will reinvigorate their local communities with economic prosperity, food security, access to healthcare, and clean energy solutions.
However, these underrepresented innovators are often poorly understood by most external bodies, treated with skepticism, financially under-resourced, and lack access to programs for incubating and growing their innovations.
