   I absolutely loved reading about the cutting edge solutions happening around the world that contribute to alleviating poverty from maternal health to finance to global health. People all around the globe are combining talent with compassion to make the world a better place. That is hope. That is proximity.

   Beautiful to look at, and very inspiring to read about small acts making big differences to people's lives worldwide. Lots of links to organizations that you can explore online, and tips on how the reader can get involved. A great antidote to despair.

   If you want to make a donation—however modest—to building a better world, start here. “100 Under $100: One Hundred Tools for Empowering Global Women” is an ingenious, one-of-a-kind toolkit conceived and meticulously executed by eco-activist, artist and feminist, Betsy Teutsch. Vivid photography captures the spirit and optimism of impoverished women in developing nations who make use of creative ideas the author has identified to solve problems faced by hundreds of millions of low-income people.

Vivid photography captures the spirit and optimism of impoverished women in developing nations who make use of creative ideas the author has identified to solve problems faced by hundreds of millions of low-income people. As a reader leafs through the 153 over-sized pages of this beautiful paperback book (or e-book,) again and again she will be struck by what most of us take for granted: sanitation, basic kitchen equipment, diapers, potable water, lamps that don’t burn kerosene, maternal nutrition, clean births, radios, televisions, bikes, eyeglasses, wheelbarrows…the list goes on and on. But where others see problems, the author sees solutions. Consider this book a resource guide to learn more about inexpensive initiatives that anyone with a few dollars to spare can contribute to via websites and platforms associated with each entry. I found this book to be as inspiring as it was practical, with a wealth of opportunities for philanthropists, however modest, looking to make a difference in the world. Let’s hope Ms. Teutsch’s book finds the broad media attention it deserves.
