I believe the guy should be nominated for a Nobel Prize. Interesting chap. He faced all sorts of opposition. Can't post the whole article, but here's a snip.
The Indian sanitary pad revolutionary
A school dropout from a poor family in southern India has revolutionised menstrual health for rural women in developing countries by inventing a simple machine they can use to make cheap sanitary pads.
Thank you for the link to the story of the Indian fellow. Fascinating!!
The guy did an amazing TED talk.
Coming up with an affordable alternative for women, cheap machinery to make it, and now there are women’s coops providing jobs that make an affordable product for women.
And if you don’t use it for feminine hygiene, it can be used as a diaper insert or incontinence pad.
