2013《财富》最具影响力的女创业家

萨拉•考林斯

• 公司：（Wonderbag）Natural Balance公司

• 年龄：43岁

上世纪70年代，考林斯出生在落后的、种族隔离时期的南非。她的童年经历让她更关注通过民间的努力改善贫困女性的生活。创办Wonderbag的灵感源自她观察祖母借助垫子做饭的经历。Wonderbag使用保暖技术在8至12个小时内烹饪食物，无需额外增加燃料。考林斯亲眼见证了非洲女性使用Wonderbag所带来的好处——它减少了她们收集柴火的时间。每卖出一个Wonderbag，这家公司就会向非洲的家庭捐赠一个这样的袋子。过去四年，Wonderbag已经走进600,000个非洲家庭。考林斯还通过亚马逊（Amazon）在美国推出了Wonderbag，并希望到2014年的时候能够通过其他零售商出售自己的产品。

Sarah Collins

• Company: (Wonderbag) Natural Balance

• Age: 43

Collins grew up in rural, apartheid-era South Africa in the 1970s. Her childhood inspired her to focus on empowering women living below the poverty line through grassroots efforts. The Wonderbag, which was inspired by watching her grandmother cook with cushions, uses heat retention technology to cook food for 8-12 hours without the need for additional fuel. Collins witnessed the benefits African women received from using Wonderbags, reducing the amount of time they spent collecting firewood. For every bag sold, another is donated to a household in Africa, and in the past four years, the Wonderbags have found themselves in 600,000 African homes. Collins has launched the Wonderbag in the U.S. on Amazon, and hopes to sell the products via other retailers by 2014.
