Martin Fisher - Kickstart International

Uploaded by socialedge on Apr 10, 2008
Global X interviews Martin Fisher, CEO of Kickstart, a nonprofit social enterprise that addresses a major market failure by manufacturing irrigation pumps such as the Super MoneyMaker to help small farmers in the developing world.
"They have only one asset --a small plot of land. And one basic skills: farming. So let's think big, and let's tackle the biggest problems!" says Martin Fisher in this short interview.
Listen to his take on poverty: "The number one need of a poor person anywhere in the world is to have a way to make more money. It's not about education, heath care, or clean water, because if you find the way to make more money, you can afford to buy all these things."

My name is also Martin Fisher, no joke. I'm a director from South Africa producing a mixed animated/live-action documentary about street children around the world. (Longstreetkidsdotcom). Just thought it was an interesting coincidence...

I've listen to several Africans from the West Coast who have said the same thing.
They don't want food aid or health aid.
They need investment to build their own businesses which have been ravaged by civil conflict. So they can stand on their own two feet and not have to rely on outside help.
