Its objective is to develop practical low-cost technologies and to provide employment and training opportunities for hearing disabled people. <br /><br /> Godisa makes three low-cost hearing aids, including one that is solar powered and uses a rechargeable battery. The battery itself can be charged up to 300 times over its 2-year lifespan and sells for under US$1.50. <br class="clear" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/archive/activitycapsule/2274">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/archive/activitycapsule/2274#comment BOP Technology Activity Health Activity Active Botswana Consumer For-profit Activity Government Activity Government Funded Non-profit Activity Philanthropy Funded Producer Sub-Saharan Africa Fri, 10 Feb 2006 17:24:07 -0500 _Alex Bloom 2274 at http://www.nextbillion.net/archive
