Ewa Wojkowska Kopernik Co-Founder and COO
Logistics and Transportation are Our Biggest Challenges

EWA Wojkowska and her partner and Kopernik co-founder, Toshi Nakamura, want to prove that simple technologies can make a huge difference to needy people. Wojkowska worked for the United Nations in Timor-Leste, Thailand and Sierra Leone and saw problems in the rural areas that were not being addressed, including the lack of lighting and clean water.

Meanwhile, they both realized that there are simple solutions to those problems. They could be solar-sourced lighting, biomass cook stoves and water filters that are east to produce but not necessarily available or accessible to the people who can really benefit from them.
