Ashoka presents award at the INDEX Awards Ceremony

The Danish 2009 INDEX Award selects the best products in the world for their "design to improve life," like the fetal heart monitor which uses "human energy" to generate it's own electricity. Pretty cool.

Ashoka's Valeria Budinich, who directs Ashoka's Full Economic Citizenship Initiative, presented the award for the Home category (you can see her at minute 26 of the video of the award ceremony). The Home category award was given to Chula for their creative design of a build-it-yourself" biomass stove ideal for low-income homes (as shown in the video above).
