Private investment provides an economic incentive to solve social issues. This not only changes the way business is conducted, but more importantly the way we look at economic development. Rural poor communities become opportunities and customers, not burdens for charity.
The numerous examples of this include:
Harvard - medical services
India - Water Health International
Brazil - Agroelectric System of Appropriate Technology
South America - Cemex,
Bangladesh - Grameen Phone
Africa – Nokia
