How To Save Millions Of Lives With A Simple MP3 Player The solar-powered device developed by URIDU is used to provide health education to illiterate rural women in developing countries Every six seconds a child under five dies. Almost all of those deaths occur in developing countries - and most of them are entirely preventable. Millions of lives could be saved just by providing illiterate rural mothers with accessible health education. Unfortunately, bringing this knowledge to remote locations has so far been an enormous challenge for both governments and NGOs. A new project is tackling that problem with a groundbreaking solution based on solar-powered MP3 players. The so-called MP3forLife Player has been developed by URIDU (www.uridu.org), a German non-profit social enterprise. Each player contains more than 400 carefully selected answers to questions about health, nutrition, family planning, child care, work safety and many more topics. All texts are translated with the help of more than 10.000 volunteers from over 100 countries who participate in a unique crowdsourcing effort. Once the information has been translated it is recorded by a native speaker of the target language. Local NGOs are taking care of distributing MP3forLife Players free of charge to women in need. We conceived the MP3forLife Player for small group listening - it fosters discussion, exchange and group building", explains Felicitas Heyne, psychologist and founder of URIDU. We want to provide basic knowledge to illiterate rural women, but we also want to create a team spirit among them. They are key to positive change in their countries. Wherever women are empowered, a favorable spiral is set in motion. Health and education improve, populations stabilize, economies grow." The MP3forLife approach has been successfully implemented in Tanzania in co-ordination with the national Ministry for Health and Social Welfare. Further East African countries are following the example. About URIDU: URIDU is a German non-profit social enterprise that empowers rural women in developing countries using solar-powered MP3 players and mobile-friendly web content.

To establish a community school with standard facilities to accommodate children from all backgrounds; with an aim of maintaining a special pool of resources to keep all the less privileged children in school throughout the year. It is so painful to see only few children smoothly continuing with their education while a big number who come from poor backgrounds are always on the road going back to look for school fee, which they hardly get from parents who cannot even a afford a decent meal in a day. Our centre's mission is to stop that kind of imbalance by establishing a system that financially cushions children from poor backgrounds and families and keep them in school at all times, providing education, food, clothing and health care, which are essential in every valued life. Bringing the whole world to the concept of global parenthood; we can be in two separate worlds but still stand as one global community with regard to the value for human life, education, good health and shared privileges. Bringing the community together and encouraging a generalized contribution towards raising a generation that sees not the limits of "class" but visualizes and realizes the potentiality of interdependence. Ensuring that there is, besides education, decent food, clothing and access to medical services to as many children and families as possible and especially those who have almost a zero chance of enjoying such essentials.
