Not quite the same, but a similarly inspiring story of someone working with little to give back to their community and make things better.
BBC News - The Indian sanitary pad revolutionary

Very creative young man. Spending time at MIT must have been an amazing experience for him.

Jimmy Dolittle went from farmboy scrapper, to crazy flyer, to MIT Doctorate, back to crazy flyer, to 4-star general.
He was a major proponent for installing full flight gauges in aircraft(alt/horizon), and flew the first IFR landing, first cross country, etc. That is why today we can hop on a plane 24/7. |
