 hat_Works_When_Traditional_Approaches_Fail\nEvent Date Begin: 2009-09-24\n
 Event Date End: 2009-09-24\n\nWhat makes poor people poor? What can they d
 o about it? And why have traditional international aid programs fallen so 
 short of their promise? These questions drove Dr. Paul Polak to work with 
 thousands of farmers in countries around the world — including Banglades
 h\, Cambodia\, Ethiopia\, Vietnam\, and Zimbabwe — to help design and pr
 oduce low–cost\, income–generating products that allow individuals to 
 create their own wealth and build better lives. Innovations such as the $2
 5 treadle pump and $3 small farm drip–irrigation systems have already ge
 nerated enormous sums of money and helped to raise millions out of poverty
 . Dr. Paul Polak\, writer and founder of International Development Enterpr
 ises\, joins Dr. Jasmine Waddell\, Senior Officer for Research & Learning 
 at Oxfam America\, to discuss how innovative entrepreneurial practices are
  empowering individuals to address poverty at its roots.\n\nStart time: 6:
