| dbo:abstract |
Paul Polak (September 3, 1933 – October 10, 2019) was the co-founder and CEO of Windhorse International, a for-profit social venture with the mission of inspiring and leading a revolution in how companies design, price, market and distribute products to benefit the 2.6 billion customers who live on less than $2 a day. Prior to founding Windhorse, in 2008 Polak founded D-Rev, a non-profit that seeks “to create a design revolution by enlisting the best designers in the world to develop products and ideas that will benefit the 90% of the people on earth who are poor, in order to help them earn their way out of poverty”. Polak is best known for his work with Colorado-based International Development Enterprises (iDE), a non-profit he founded in 1981 which is dedicated to developing practical solutions that harness the power of markets and attack poverty at its roots. IDE has ended poverty for 19 million of the world’s poorest people by making radically affordable irrigation technology available to farmers through local small-scale entrepreneurs, and opening private sector access to markets for their crops. (en) Пол Полак (Paul Polak, 3 сентября 1933 — 10 октября 2019) — канадско-американский психиатр, общественный деятель, социальный предприниматель, педагог и писатель, основатель и руководитель ряда некоммерческих социальных организаций, в том числе International Development Enterprises (производство насосов для бедных фермеров Азии), Windhorse International (разработка и производство дешёвых устройств солнечной энергетики и очистки воды), D-Rev (разработка и производство недорогих протезов и другого медицинского оборудования) и (строительство цементных резервуаров для воды в бедных деревнях). Своей главной целью в жизни он считает самоокупаемую борьбу с бедностью и помощь миллиардам людей, которые живут на 2 долл. в день. Полак рассматривал бедняков как клиентов, а не как получателей благотворительной помощи. (ru) |
