1. Building a Distribution Channel
Appropriate technology is only appropriate if people really are able to use it.
That means that the gap between innovations and possibilities for purchasing these techniques needs to be closed.
IaW is committed to set up a sustainable and donor-independent distribution channel in which
 a choice of products
at the right and honest price
will be offered with micro credits
This last benefit will make it possible for buyers to also build up credit history that can benefit them at a later point. IaW will be the guarantor for its products and therefore each product will be its own collateral.
For the micro credit provider it means access to a large group that has never been their customer and they might be able to lower their interest rate.
