Kopernik is a group of former UN workers and today, Feb 19th, they are launching Kopernik—www.thekopernik.org—an online store of technology designed for the developing world.

According to Ewa Wojkowska, Co-Founder of Kopernik:

"The technology addresses simple but critical needs—solar power, self-adjusting eyeglasses and quick water filtration, for example.  

As Haiti continues to clear the rubble, as a measure of stability comes to Sudan, as Sri Lanka holds a bitter peace, a new development opportunity presents itself in some of the world’s poorest and most troubled places."

Here is their press release announcing the launch:
