A Deeper River
By Paul Polak

I have in me a deeper river

That flows toward the light

It does not ask me where to flow

It flows

And I flow with it

And then the river becomes the light

And we are one

"If you want to reach scale you have to follow basic economics and not just be a do-gooder. Always remember that in any business it’s a crime to throw away anything of value. The only way to get to scale is to make more money." -Paul Polak

Practical solutions to extreme poverty already exist. If organizations like @iDEorg have helped some 40 million extremely poor people move out of poverty, what’s stopping us from scaling up the market driven approaches that can do the same for a billion people?"

There are 6.5 Billion people on this planet, 90% of whom can’t afford basic products & services. Nearly 3 billion people, don’t have regular access to food, shelter or clean water. Yet when we talk, about design, it’s about something that’s intended to be sold to the richest 10%
