TEL is dedicated to bringing communities out of poverty by fostering the exchange of innovative, cost-effective and sustainable solutions that improve lives at the bottom of the pyramid. TEL was founded in 2009 by two alumni from the MIT Sloan School of Management. Since then, TEL’s crowd-sourced and curated database has grown to include over 650 innovative solutions to problems of poverty. More than just an informational nexus, TEL actively helps NGOs and communities leverage appropriate technology solutions to maximize the impact of last-mile development.
