• Americans Martin Fisher and Nick Moon sold their
  first MoneyMaker, a small irrigation pump that
  works like a stairclimbing exercise machine, to a
  Kenyan farmer for 55 in 1996. Today, their
  non-profit organization, KickStart, manufactures
  in Africa, generating jobs and selling more than
  36,000 portable irrigation systems throughout
  East Africa, enabling local farmers to increase
  their planting from an average of 0.1 acre to 2
  acres, and increase their average annual income
  from 120 to 1,400.
