when I was a child I want to make a
billion dollars and when I grew up today
I want to change 2 billion lives good
evening ladies and gentlemen
distinguished guests it’s my incredible
honor to speak here today growing up we
thought much wasn’t easy you know we
didn’t have much money we didn’t have
food on the table there was a much
stability but all there was was family
love the happiness that we got from that
mother my mother struggled for as long
as I could remember she took on odd jobs
and she works she worked as a janitor a
local education center so we could get
free education she knew education was
the only way he could break free from
the poverty cycle
she knew education was the only way it
could get some form of stability and she
knew she wanted much much better for us
even though with limited leads we were
thought of the importance of giving back
and this became part of the family’s DNA
we were taught to give to share to
sacrifice which is merely chemically we
were taught since young to put a smile
on faces of less fortunate wireless and
this gave us internal happiness as we
proceeded you know as diverse as it went
by my mother used to tell me that
do not give when you have enough or you
have extra do not give when you don’t
want something anymore or you don’t need
it anymore
that is just recycling giving is a form
of sacrificing something this how I
started work at some of the rural
isolated
religious in Malaysia for this is how I
met Meera
a beautiful six year old kid the most
beautiful smile I visited her village
Meera was constantly suffering from
diarrhea due to drinking contaminated
water the same water that was used to be
too clean to cook and to drink as they
had no piped water
I built the system was within six months
and a rush back to Meera when I was too
late Mira’s death resulted in the birth
of solar industries a social enterprise
sera means Sun in Sanskrit symbolizes
the light that we hope to bring to every
home that faces a similar problem we
know that every step of effort that we
make brings many drops of water that
could save lives
the system that we prototyped
uses solar to purify water and also
generates electricity it’s quite a big
sister we started off a year and a half
ago and the vision of the company we
asked any companies out there you can go
on the street and you ask you can ask
your parents what’s the vision of your
company nobody remembers but the vision
of our company is really simple which is
touching and uplifting lives to
technology and we ventured into the
water business we although we are a
thirty million a population of 30
million but one third of the country
don’t have access to drinking water one
hour away from KL is already a hundred
and eighty families in the village they
don’t have Ricky
what and someone told me the other day
there’s a aura a slim village five
minutes away from girl that doesn’t have
electricity and water and you really
shocked me so this is the post
percentage of population that lives
under a dollar a day as you can see more
than 50% of the world can afford water
and eventually this has become a
commodity in the long run so we in the
next the past one and a half years we
have done quite a huge data household
survey and we did a survey for 2,000
people and we knew that these people
wanted a system which is easy to use
robust not corrected the grid and pipe
work and also has to be really really
cheap because most of the systems out
there are really bulky is really
expensive if you ask a company which
does rural water purification they will
tell you their systems really cheap to
start but actually what the heavy cost
la razón is the filter cartridge so they
sell your sister for this cheap upfront
and they will send tell you that every
six months you have to change so that’s
how they make money so this was the
first prototype that was designed in in
this one in the mechanical engineering
lab along a lot of while building this
for six months I went to the president
miss Ling Ling who seated in front was
very kind to me and said hey you know I
told her I need to use the lab extra
time and I needed someone from a
different department to help me because
I want to build a prototype but he has
to look good as well it’s gonna be ugly
looking then even the villagers won’t
use it because they have taste as well
and so we decide this system and we
showcase this system to the prime
minister in watch 2015 when President
Obama was down as well so we had like 10
minutes debate time the President of the
United States and also so after 10
minutes of filtering water because this
was built out of oval blue and after 10
minutes we were carrying the whole
system for the water to the toilet
because the system was about to hold the
horses that was about to break apart and
I said this was the system that we first
built Anna
I sold my iPad to build the system so I
was really interesting journey at the
moment we have I’m proud to say we have
for the past 14 so we are really young
startup a social enterprise so at the
moment we have powered up up to 500
families now we have done water and
electricity so we have done water and
electricity up to 11 villages villages
where for the net for the past 10 years
no one there’s no cars that it has even
entered my staff that knows we just we
just have we just bought a brand new
like 4×4 four months ago and now it
looks like a ten year old pickup truck
so these are the we have traveled to the
rural villages of Capet eight hours by
boat and then four hours by four-wheel
drive then another four hours by boat
and then in slower you can see
crocodiles sunbathing you know
throughout the river so it’s quite a
very interesting journey and the
villages that we might could light up
see some of these villages they weave
the main income is weaving they weave
this shows really you know intricate
design shows and we gave them light and
they were really thankful to us because
now they could weave a pipe and it
immediately doubled their income so
giving life is one thing but being able
to make sure that they learn out of baby
and
able to break free from poverty that’s a
different thing we have people telling
us that children telling us that they
could read at night because they had
light you know so that’s we have parents
sending us pictures and says thank you
very much
because now my child can study at night
because this is one lightbulb and you
have like five children surrounding them
and reading so that’s a really powerful
statement of the work that we do and we
have done many more villages we got we
moving really fast now we did a project
in pecan they did the project in
penisula if you know pecan is the Prime
Minister’s constituency but you know and
we have we have done quite a baby and
now we have grown quite fast as well for
the past one year we are building a
small manufacturing plant in sawa as
well if you see the systems are really
huge these are the systems that we built
and the system that we are launching
next year and after two years of R&D is
is in my pocket
so this is the size of the system that
can purify sixty thousand litres at a
price point of 400 again we will be
launching this
every launch in Greece about
first-quarter
exists it’s got to be a really
interesting because it’s gonna put the
other systems around for the money and
if you think again how can you
contribute so this is what I do
but there’s a lot of things at the
pipeline that we think we’re gonna
develop so we are looking at water
sanitation health if everyone does a
small piece of this then these people
could break from poverty so it’s not
about me it’s about them so end of the
day if you are selflessly helping
someone else it helps develop and more
your character itself and if you want to
know what we do move we always get
volunteers to help us in the rural
States or peninsula and so on so you can
follow us on Facebook and also you can
email us that’s about it thank you very
much
