The developing world needs many innovations to help them develop and help some of these poverty stricken nations. Amy Smith knows this best. Former Peace Corp volunteer, founder of MIT’s D-Lab and also an engineer cum teacher, Smith had created the hammer mill to grind flour and also a non-electric incubator.
Having spent many years growing up in India and Botswana, she had crated many ‘friendly’ machines and also had them manufactured and assembled locally, in turn helping the nation’s economy and creating jobs for some.
Apart from that Smith being a teacher had trained students and took them over to Africa and Haiti to aid in the production of bicycle gear and pumps.
Amy Smith continues to give back to society!
