Martin Fisher and Nick Moon

Profile

This pair of longtime Africa hands have worked together since 1991, developing low-cost, high-impact products, –including a brick press and a machine that makes cooking oil from sunflower seeds. Their latest is a line of –manually operated "MoneyMaker" pumps that allow farmers to pull water from a river, pond or shallow well and irrigate up to 2 acres of land. KickStart manufactures the pumps in China and sold 28,000 of them last year in small shops throughout Africa.
