The What If Technique presented by Motivate DesignMotivate Design
Why "What If"...?

The document describes an application called MicroAid that aims to provide livelihood information and connect producers at the bottom of the pyramid with resources and markets through online tools and a mobile app. It discusses challenges around availability, understandability, cost, and targeting of livelihood information for those in need. The proposed solution is to create learning tools, a producer database, and a mobile app to help producers improve products, find groups and discuss best practices, and market to buyers.
Connecting business to sustainable livelihoods at the bottom of the pyramid i...MicroAid
The document discusses how connecting micro-producers and livelihood clusters to commercial organizations through "micro-connections" can unlock economic potential and create sustainable livelihoods. Micro-connections refer to both transactional and social relationships that link commercial buyers, livelihood clusters of small producers, and individual micro-producers. These connections allow producers to boost quality and volume to meet market demands, while buyers gain reliable supply chains. If the world's population were equally productive, global GDP could increase over four times. Facilitating micro-connections using technologies like mobile networks can help close this "prosperity gap" by boosting incomes at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
Microaid Mobile App (MAMA) connects local buying agents to their producers at the bottom of the pyramid (BOP).
The simple technology messages in MicroAid Notes increases micro-producer’s returns and assures the product continuity, quality standards and traceability required by buyers.
Buying agents license MAMA to their producers to connect and coordinate their product supply network.
MicroAid Mobile App is targeted for local buying agents to connect to both producers and consumer buyers for shared value supply chains

home business. On Microaid website, we can watch people

“I and my family use coconut oil almost every day for
cooking. We used to buy it in the market. MicroAid invited us
all to learn together how to make coconut oil from coconuts.
Now we all know how to process coconuts that are available
in our yard and can make money from our own trees. One
day soon we will go to the market to sell our coconut oil
because now we are starting to make more oil than we need.
Thank you MicroAid for showing us this opportunity”.

Testimonials
“Great personalized involvement. A refreshing way to give…” Jack Diggle, UK.
“I used Microaid project funds to make my own seed nursery so I can learn myself what grows well here and then
sell to others to make more money. Easier and much more practical than the other community development
projects we followed which was a lot of theory but no cash to actually do it! Thank you Microaid”. Katarina Ndona,
Hewuli village, Indonesia.
“Very interesting project, I am pleased to see that these ladies had the opportunity to learn some very practical
vegetable gardening skills. Excellent photographs and reports, plus it look like everyone enjoyed the activity”. Neil
Johnston, UK.
“Good pictures, clear budget, we understood exactly what everybody did and heard about both successes and
problems overcome in getting out of poverty”. Toby Beresford, UK.
"This is a very interesting and effective initiative. People who have ability to support with finance or skills should do
so. I think this is the best way to serve the disadvantaged people". Lutfor Rahman, Bangladesh.
"Hi there, I am interested in your charity and was wondering whether there are any opportunities for work
experience. Thank you”. Daisy Jones, US.
"Dear Sir, Thank you very much for establishing a micro aid. It's really encouraging and I would like to learn more
about that program here in Uganda (East Africa). Do you have offices here in Uganda at a moment? These are good
projects which our CBO would like to be involved in. I will be grateful to hear from you”. Nathan, Uganda.
“We are very interested in the activities undertaken by MicroAid in helping small communities to enhance the
economic and technological development of society through the internet”. Aisa Rauf, Indonesia.
“I am very interested in the programs offered by the MicroAid, who have the vision and mission of helping poor
families located in rural or disadvantaged areas, I beg explanation”. Oktovianus SB, Indonesia.
“The International Federation’s Flickr presence is managed by its communications department and the primary goal
is to publicize what the group does. The images uploaded to Flickr by MicroAid Projects, which has been on Flickr
since December 2006, are less aesthetic, but they also have a practical function”. Dean, blogs.photopreneur.com,
March 10, 2008.

12. About MicroAid
15 years of practical help for low income families. 1998 -2013
MicroAid was started in 1998 by the Beresford family in memory of their father. MicroAid is managed and run from
its field office in Depok Indonesia under the board of volunteer trustees based in the UK. Consequently MicroAid is
one of very few UK charities without HQ overheads. This means donations can be used entirely on field operations
and the reduction of poverty. Funds are channelled directly to poor families and the community organisations
where they live.
Our Vision:
Families reduce poverty themselves through home enterprise. Learning starts from simple steps done now with help
from your family and friends. Seize your day!
MicroAid's Mission:
MicroAid’s local Community Partners help low income families to LEARN new skills using simple materials available
from MicroAid Library (www.microaid.net), GET SUPPORT through micro-project donor funds (www.microaid.org),
and CONNECT to community organisations, buyers and local markets (http://products.microaid.com).
