Her lessons: for a social venture targeting the bottom of the pyramid, the distribution channel is of the utmost importance. And pricing has to be right, too!

Listen to Keely's voice.
(This is Keely Stevenson's second interview with Global X. You may want to watch the first one here.)

It’s Time for KickStart
Not too long ago, Global X wrote about Martin Fisher and Nick Moon, the two social entrepreneurs who founded KickStart, the organization formerly known as ApproTEC. Their main product: a foot-activated pump that can irrigate several acres of land, which they sell in Kenya, Tanzania and Mali.
Global X recently noticed that Time Magazine had realized how important these two social entrepreneurs were.
Global X also keeps a wireless mobile photo blog.
