This collection examines the Jaipur prosthetic limb, Kangaroo care, (a method of care for infants born premature), higher education in Rwanda, and low tech responses to climate change and medical needs in northern India and Nicaragua respectively.

- What are the limitations of the work described in Rwanda? What are the challenges?
