Simply elegant

I first learned about the Riders for Health organization on PBS' Rx for Survival television series. The concept is simple: give motorcycles to Africa's health workers and train them to ride and repair them themselves. With this transportation, they can effectively distribute aid and administer basic health care to remote villages. The impact is nothing short of revolutionary. You can see a brief movie about the program here.
