United Nations Yak

Can a water pump help alleviate poverty? Our United Nations Yakker, Martin Fisher, has spent the last fifteen years showing the world that it can. In 1991, Martin Fisher and Nick Moon founded KickStart, an international NGO that works to promote sustainable economic growth and employment creation in African countries by developing and promoting technologies that can be used by entrepreneurs to establish and run profitable small-scale enterprises – with an overall mission focused on helping millions out of poverty.  Already more than 70,000 farmers in Kenya, Mali, Tanzania and Burkina Faso have employed their low-cost water pumps to create their own small businesses that combined generate more than $77 million in new profits and wages each year.

The GLObal Systems Analysis and Simulation Association in the U.S.A. (GLOSAS/USA) is a publicly supported, non-profit, educational service organization and is a consortium of organizations dedicated to the use of evolving telecommunications and information technologies to further advance world peace through global communications. GLOSAS fosters science and technology based economic development to improve the quality of life, stressing two important principles – sharing and collaboration.

GLOSAS/USA played a major pioneering role in extending U.S. data communication networks to other countries and deregulating Japanese telecommunication policies for the use of e-mail triggering the de-monopolization and privatization of Japanese telecommunications industries and leading to a movement emulated in many other countries with more than 1.3 billion email users around the world nowadays.
