亿万富翁的善举:这位亿万富翁捐出了他99%的财富

如何改变世界?对外援助是最有效的工具,还是应该由数百万小额捐助者资助的慈善机构发挥带头作用?

一个名为“数十亿变革”的新组织正在尝试一种新策略:通过发明创造来解决世界各地人们面临的最根本的问题。

该组织由亿万富翁马诺杰·巴尔加瓦创立并资助,拥有直接解决全球贫困问题的独特机会。

5-Hour Energy 的创始人 Bhargava 承诺将 99% 的财富用于帮助弱势群体。因此,“亿万改变”项目不接受捐款。

“数十亿人变革”运动旨在通过创建和实施解决方案,解决全球最基本的三大问题——水、能源和健康,从而拯救世界。这样做将使数十亿人摆脱贫困,并改善所有人的生活,无论贫富。

“我们既不是非营利组织也不是营利组织。我们零利润,”巴尔加瓦告诉《机遇生活》杂志。 “我们的运营方式像营利组织,但我们不赚钱。”

巴尔加瓦不想只是捐钱,而是希望通过赋予人们谋生能力来产生可持续的影响。

“数十亿人改变世界”项目的核心在于行动——创造并实施满足基本需求的解决方案,从而对世界各地数十亿人产生积极影响。

“我们的目标是让人们能够自食其力,并赋予人们权力——无论他们住在哪里或拥有多少钱——以实现最大的福祉,”Billions in Change 网站上写道。

“数十亿变革”组织主要雇佣工程师。这些工程师的任务是开发价格低廉、易于使用的产品,以彻底改变世界各地人们获取可靠电力、清洁用水和医疗保健的方式。

这三个目标是使人们能够谋生并开始摆脱贫困的根本所在。

免费电力

“数十亿变革”工程项目迄今为止的成果之一是“自由电力机”。这台机器使人们能够自行发电——而且无污染。它体积小、重量轻、结构简单。

工作原理如下:骑车人踩动混合动力自行车,车轮带动飞轮转动,飞轮带动发电机发电,发电机为电池充电。骑行一小时即可产生持续24小时的电力,无需支付电费,也没有尾气排放和废物产生。

造雨者

另一项发明是名为“造雨机”的机器。它模仿自然规律,将海水或污水转化为适合饮用和农业灌溉的淡水。“造雨机”制造的不仅仅是少量淡水。

一台小型汽车大小的机器每小时就能生产一千加仑海水淡化水。与其他海水淡化系统不同,Rain Maker 能够回收利用热能,因此极其清洁高效。

I appreciate his efforts in all ways; that he must have worked hard to get where he is and that he has decided to use his monetary wealth to funds projects that serve others. If only everyone would follow suit; and who knows how many seeds he is planting by doing this work! Thank you for sharing his story.

I cringe a little bit when people like this are considered "fortunate". Clearly the guy has busted his tail for quite a while to get where he's at. While I'm certain that luck has made a housecall or two on this man's journey, it wasn't the fulcrum many would like to think it is.

And I wonder how long until these devices are strongarmed and patented by Big Money, the way that Big Oil has done for so many years with devices and inventions that stretch gas mileage.
