Hu 0.1 Serving 100000 to 100 million people
While some people
study brac’s first project in 1972 for how were 16000 village homes (about
100000 humans) built for $5 per family in 1972 – rural keynesianisn reporters
at The Economist and followers of scholars such as schumacher[i]
see this as the energetic start of a great economic and human developmemt
miracle. Its the original field lab for 50 years or revolutionary networks
empowering solutions around most urgent sdg challenges ; it’s the centre of
gravity for bangladesh womens most famous export; it links in the world’s ngo
partnership; 2020’s declaration that the last half century had seen a billion
asians move out of subsistence poverty could not have occurred with what fazle abed started up in 1972.
At the age of 33 many people who have been satisfied with
the 14 years since he the teenage abed from far north east corner of the old
british raj, to graduate in ship engineering fro9m adam smith galsgow
univeristy to ascending to regional ceo of the royal dutch shell company. But It
was soon after this promotion to be regional ceo for his homeland that a
million-killer cyclone struck-all around him. Afger monthhelping with immediate
relief, he went back to london to finish his contact,
sell his putney flat – and with the proceeds of about 35000 dollars and a
matched grant his team built the 16000 homes for refugee families as the
country emerged from war of independence born new nation bangladesh 8th
largest, worlds poorest
From the birth of
this 100000 mega-village, abed was aware of three million -his start-up
responsibilities must aim to keep the people safe from three by on-million klilling
challenges – cyclone, war/refugee/, starvation
Abed devoted 50 years of life to asking[ii].
How to serve the peoples
No sooner thanthe 16000 homes were bulit - one roof bamboo
huts, pit latrine, landscaped not to flood with small courtyards for cooking
and abed focused on
1 observing that due to culture and the challenges of
villages having no access to electricity grids or any other infrrastructure, the women householders had no revenue-creating
livelihoods – how could he find world’s most concerned developmemt partners
designing microfranchises until girls within a generation could emulate boys as
nation builders
2 data showed half of infants were dyng before age of 5 and
average life expectancy was low 40s – so his valuation goal raise life
expectancy with focus infants/mother health -
sought microfranchises to
integrate this goal – small sustainable village business on how women could 1
develop food security, 2 power their own last mile village health service
Abed found moral support in a book by franciscan paulo
freire – pedagogy of the oppressed. Clearly bottom-up service is a very different leadership
valuation task than admistering a (new) nation’s taxes/laws/land distribution.
where political rivalries over time can cause the most emotionally intelligent goals
of the public servant to get lost- even such species critical goals as we 2020s
citizens now reflect on eg lives matter safety, and staying ahead of natures
species-chalenges such as cliate and virus
Fortunately for the world, at least two extraordinary
networks shared abed’s same concerns from the early 1970s rising
South China villagers – subject to same tropical diseases
and also without electricity grids
Unicefs james grant
This quickly resulted in 4 more hunicorns which took brac
beyond its metaq village. Moreover, the timing
76-86 connected extraordianr win-wins between of bangladesh, and china's
womens futures influencing how the world’s
largest population selected micro capitalism models and thence all billion
poorest women capitalism models
1huEd0 what james grant, abed and chinese all did with oral
rehydration – the most valuable missing lesson
(origin of what aid now calls direct knowhow-cash transfers) connecting
world leaders with village poverty in any tropical climate- this broke through aid
always trickling down between national govs before it developed people-
bangladeshs cholera lab had invented how to mix water sugar salt to end death
by diarrjea but brac worked out how to turn this into a lesson across its 16000
village mothers -and got funding from grant to scale across whole rural nation
of mother
2 huh1 brac developed microfranchise village health servants
as the first sustainable business to scale across the nation – initially with
its 160000 family lab it was discovered one women door to door 300 families per
week-with basin non prescription drugs as well as weekly trust news on all
health challenges relevant to mothers and childs up to age 5 – brac became the
"pharmacy" wholesaler direct to the village women of the relevant
cures
huh2 unicefs grant was so excited that unicef brand and his
life’s meaning became chief oral rehydration champion that he asked abed can I
do something else for you – abed said please ask bangladesh prime minister to
demand you give her funds to vaccinate half the nation while letting brac fundraise
to vaccinate the other half- thus by mid 1980s bangladesh had number 1
benchmark for poorest nations vaccinating whole population
4huf1 Food networks first unicorn applying borlaug to rice science to end starvation in every
village through microfranchise smes -see economist 1977- happiest chart in
world – japan now empowered small farmers 30 times more rice productivity than
cambodia – all other asian countries in between eg bangladesh about one sixth
of borlaug-japanese small farmer productivity- brac led rice science as village
mothers microfranchise- this also started connecting with all first 1000 days
nutrition challenge to prevent infant stunting
(japan and bangladesh led rice science for poorest hub creation through
phillipines hr irri)
5hub1 brac now had tens of thousands of village moms
operating microfranhises – they needed a savings and loan bank for the poor-
bracs form of microfinance
More Food solutions were to become bracs next hunicorns as
was the emergence of brac as the world's largest schhols designer
6huf2 one veggie beyond rice per village – infants need
vitamins rice alone cant provide
7huf3 – brac put 5 jobs solutions together so that
bangladesh national market for eggs/chickens was designed round over a million
jobs – as well as 1 villager with chickens jobs 2-5 2) breeding new type of
chicken; 3 local vaccinations of chickens; 4 chicken feed collected from arable
areas not capable of human food production ; 5 distribution of eggs beyond
villages once they were in surfeit -as this scaled poultry became a nation
leading enterprise of brac – one of 20 to emerge
Up to late 1990s fazle abed focused entirely on applying
solutions to bangladesh but he loved to tell potential partners – if you have
an invention relevant to extreme human development brac cant make you the most
money but you can see how to scale the most good- and then choose beyond
bangladesh what your invention does -it was this attitude which h attracted
chinese networkers on many occasions to both bring solutions to abed – eg from
china barefoot medic network and to adopt hs models where relevant
Miraculously china needed women lift up half the sky model;
its one child model meant that by late 1990s half of all families would be
dependent on smartest young adult women- so girl empowered microfranchisning
became what triangularised chinese capitalism from 1977- not public private
partnership duo-system- chinese human development capitalism went from zero non
state companies to todays extraordinary subcontinent -see 3rd and 4th neumann
revolutions of humans and machines since adam smith/james watt first in 1760s
glasgow - which in sdg year 2015 including china with 5 million startups now
mainly celebrating tech youth
In between in 1996 bangladesh reputation as partner lab saw
poorest worlds first microsolar and mobile phone- the chinese quickly adapted
these knowhow flows to their rural poorest-in the case of solar from the same
knowledge source www.hunicorns.com
[i] Rural
keynesianism is a term normsan macrae coined in his 1977 economist survey of 2
billion people futures- schunachers quote on ending poverty is primarily a
challenge of miilions of villages- echoing schumacher one of abed’s favorite
quotes: small may be beautiful but in bangladesh large scale is absolutely
essential confirms why the scaling challenge of the economist’s call for
entreprenurial revolution is not the same system search as drayton’s 1978 branding
of social entrepreneur. Indeed some will reflect that western mass media made a
terrifying error in segmenting politicials into supporters of business verus
society- why not value business models as mapping exponential scaling
opportunities while social models value goodwill and transparently deep data- a
common sensing that is not purposefully integrated whenever professional
advisers externalise or fail einstein’s scientific advice – there’s always more
innovation to discover at a more micro level of dynamic interaction than man currently
assumes
