Making a phone call is something that many people take for granted. Yet millions in rural villages around the world simply do not have easy or affordable access to a telephone. The Village Phone concept was developed precisely to help extend access to telecommunications beyond the urban areas. Started by GrameenPhone in Bangladesh -- a client of IFC, IFC is now working with MTN (also an IFC client) and other partners to replicate the Village Phone concept in several African countries, starting with Nigeria. IFC also collaborated with the Grameen Foundation and other partners to create a Village Phone Replication Manual -- essentially a 'how-to' resource for setting up a Village Phone project. Beyond providing much needed communication access, the Village Phone model goes a long way to empower the women operators, spur economic activities and promote entrepreneurialism. http:www.worldbank.orgconnectingafrica

The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track. This is not just in America this entrenched scam is world wide!

The video demonstrated the assembly process for the Uber Shelter prototype. We are an organization focused on designing emergency shelters to meet the needs of different climates terrains family sizes and cultures. The model shown in this video is a collapsible, 2 story, 190 square foot, 3 roomed shelter with 2 of the rooms fully insulated. The second floor is a sleeping loft which utilizes vertical space for increased living area. It is shipped flat in a 4x8x2 package that is unfolded and assembled on site. It is man-portable and assembled with a wrench. The key feature that separates our design from any shelter in the field is that the Über is raised off the ground. This feature is imperative for weather purposes. Telescoping legs allow the shelter to remain level on uneven terrain. The Über Shelter is in prototype phase and is being tested.

In a country where over 50% live on less then 1$ a day and a quarter live in extreme poverty, the poorer you are the more likely you are to die giving birth.
