The Other 90 Design, Inc (TO9D), is a not-for-profit multinational corporation that has as its mission to develop products that will benefit the 90% of people on Earth who are poor by helping them out of ‘absolute poverty,’ which was defined by the World Bank in 1990 as the earning of equivalent income of $2 a day or less. TO9D attempts to accomplish this goal through focusing development efforts on products that either allow people to earn their way out of poverty or allow people to spend less time, money, and/or effort on the necessities of life. Specifications: The proposal must identify a real-world poverty situation in a specific nation where at least 40% of the population earns less than $2 a day.
