Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group
China
Transform the problem of failing infrastructure in the developing world into economic opportunities for local workers through the formation of micro manufacturing facilities for environmentally sound infrastructure improvements.Ten years ago I was inspired by travels to create a new type of aid organization. One with a long term sustainable legacy. One that used market forces to reach constituents. One that embraced local production and innovation in emerging markets. Ten years later I can gladly say that with your help AIDG achieved those goals. The enterprises we helped have served several hundred thousand people and they are just getting started. A few of them might scale to serve millions. AIDG embraced local design and manufacturing SME investment and direct outreach in communities to achieve an impact that will last well beyond the scope of the organization. I invite you to look through this multimedia review of our ten years of work. Thank you for your support through the years.

Windlift
United States of America
Windlift develops mobile airborne wind energy systems for the defense and disaster relief markets. Windlift's technology uses a tethered airfoil to replace the large tower and blades found on a traditional wind turbine. The heavy generator and transmission can then be located at ground level enabling the entire system to be mounted to a trailer. This mobility allows Windlift's systems to deliver dispatchable renewable energy to any location. This enables military and disaster relief operators to divert fuel from generators to more mission critical functions saving money and increasing operational flexibility.
