Having sold about 20,000 Janma kits - the bulk in India and in other developing countries in Africa & Latin America - Zubaida and her AYZH team have been bootstrapping success for over three years selling products to large market with minimal marketing efforts at a profit. After a gestation period of three years AYZH today is delivering results and has gained acceptance for its forward thinking by organizations like TED, Ashoka Changemakers, and Echoing Green.

AYZH aims to be the leading global provider of life-saving and life-changing health technologies for underprivileged women worldwide. Building off the success of Janma, AYZH will expand its product line to meet new needs of existing customers, with a host of other "kit style" products that support new born health, postpartum haemorrhage, and menstrual hygiene. Two products have been prototyped and under pilot testing while two products are under Research and Development.

AYZH has concrete plans in place for its current goal of reaching over 1000 clinics' and hospitals in India by 2013. Long term goals for AYZH apart from continuing to scale in India include growth of sales and scaling operations in Africa.

Bangwell floated his Young Stars International Foundation in 1994 in a barber's shop when he was just 22 because "I wanted to reach out to as many young people as possible".

Lacking formal education because there was no money to pay his fees, he went without funding for eight years to achieve his goal: "The role I must play to change and transform Nigeria."

His first funding - 500 pounds - came in 2003 and he has just landed a $280,000 project to promote democratic values.

"I'm aiming at $5 million before the end of the decade," said Bangwell, who once turned down substantial funding because it involved a 30 percent kickback.

"I've never taken a bribe and will never take a bribe," he asserted, adding: "The end doesn't justify the means."
