Editor's Notes
- Meet
- Meet
- 4 out of 10 Rwandan children suffer from chronic malnutrition 1 out of 10 children die from malnutrition 30% of the world’s population suffers from significant micronutrient deficiencies – that’s two billion people, equal to the United States population seven times over.
- Meet
- Met lots of people – one of the most touching people we met was Beatrice…
- TALK ABOUT HOW WE CAN IMPACT THE PROBLEM WHAT ARE THEY KEY VITAMINS THAT WE WILL BE ADDING?
- Means BE STRONG in KinyaRwanda
- How did we get from beatriz to a mil? Let me show you… (make the red text pop up after mixing has popped up- before design objectives)
- Akshay is at the mill. Says This is the Product, now Soniya will talk about how about how all the players come together to make and sell the Komera.
- What is .5 work?
- In Sub-Saharan Africa, 40-80% of the population, or between 225 and 270 million people, are served by small scale mills
- Approximately the size of Marlyand. Steep mountains and deep valleys cover most of the country. Four provinces -Rwanda has a total of 12,000 km of roads, of which 1,000 km are paved. [8] The remainder are dirt roads with quality varying from smooth hard surfaces with drainage to rutted, extremely uneven tracks passable only with a four-wheel drive vehicle. maximum dimensions of 150 by 120 miles: only a few hours to travel to either end of the country Rwanda's population density is 702 persons per square mile (271 per km 2), highest among mainland countries of Africa and about 12 times that of the continent as a whole. Nearly all the people live on farms. The only large city is Kigali, the capital.
- Tell a specific story about Beatriz and what it would be like if her family’s life was improved SROI What is the price of health? $18 can save people $44 annual health expenditure per person
- I want to add one more regarding powder charge but maybe that’s not as important…
