A video from Tanzania

Post categories:

Chris Vallance | 10:54 UK time, Friday, 28 November 2008

In May we featured listener Simon Berry's big idea on iPM - to ask Coke to help distribute simple medicines like rehydration salts in the developing world.

Simon's just been attending a meeting in Tanzania bringing together stakeholders (that means aid-agencies etc. ) to discuss research into Coca-Cola's network. If Simon's idea is taken further by the company, the discussion will help inform that process.

Simon's been posting up video's from the meeting. In this one he sees what some local people who distribute coke bottles think of the idea - the discussion switches to English a couple of minutes in.

You can read more about the project here.

    Greeting from Tanzania - thanks for featuring this Chris. I think I had a mini breakthrough today. I met with PSI (an NGO) who are very interested in the idea and _may_ take on the design of pilots here in Tanzania.
    With best wishes
