      The Covid19 has financially impacted people and Kiva took this fact into consideration and tried to help people overcome their financial difficulties in many ways. When I read the different donations during Covid19, I found that Kiva has financed many small businesses and made some dream come true even in a global pandemic where people were hopeless. This is such a human act!

Kiva (organization) - Wikipedia - 0 views

  • As of October 2017, 81% of Kiva's loans have been made to women.[19] Kiva emphasizes supporting women because women can gain the most from microcredit. Patriarchy and a strict division of labor still dominate the societies of many developing countries, and women often suffer the most from poverty because scarce resources are often allocated to a family's males, rather than its females.
  •  
    As it is known that when a woman wishes to create or develop her own business, the chances of obtaining a business loan are strongly against her. So Kiva is now helping women make their dreams come true.

Start-up Spotlight: Shack fire early-warning systems save lives - EE Publishers - 0 views

  • Lumkani has always had the dream of making communities more resilient to the devastation of shack fires. Having the opportunity to cover an additional 20 000 South African homes with our early warning system has been a big step towards realising this,” says Francois Petousis, Director of Humanitarian Projects at Lumkani. “Every week we hear stories of people who have heard our fire alarms ringing in a neighbourhood, or have received our SMS saying that their house is on fire which has helped them to race home to put out a small fire before it caused any damage. That is huge motivation for us to reach even more homes across our country.”

Is Africa ready for robotic surgery? - New African Magazine - 0 views

  • A quiet but exciting revolution in surgery has been gaining ground in hospitals in the more advanced nations of the world. Robots, controlled by highly trained operators, have been very effectively carrying out a multitude of operations. Could robot-assisted surgery be the solution Africa has been waiting for in order to be able to deal with the hugecurrent unmet demand?
    • aminej
       
      The surgical robotic market is expected to rise from $3bn to $12.6bn by 2025. Surgery by robots typically improves efficiency, efficacy and precision during a procedure and minimises post-operation complications. The example of how rapidly the mobile phone was not only adopted by Africa but also adapted for the needs of Africans is a clear indication that the continent can leap-frog intermediate technologies and go straight to the cutting edge. The large volume of patients needing surgery can make robotics cost-efficient, mobile robotic units can be a dream come true and surgeons from remote areas can have access to the robot.
