Moms are one of the most versatile and hardworking people. They can handle and run and entire household while juggling countless tasks, crying babies, and still be able to make dinner all without breaking a sweat. It is no surprise to know that there are so many mom-inventors and mom-innovators who have developed creations that helped make a better future.
From Hedy Lamarr who developed the technology to help the Navy remotely control torpedoes,
Mary Anderson who in 1903, invented and patented the Windshield wipers making driving on a rainy day safer,
Stephanie Kwolek who invented Kevlar, a component used to create bulletproof vests,
From socialite Josephine Cochrane who developed the first dishwasher.
They are all moms who had two things in common: a great idea and a deep passion to make lives better by creating things. Whether you are a domestic diva, a corporate working mom, or a self-made business guru, you too can make a difference by sharing and submitting your idea for change at www.meaningfulinnovation.asia/philippines.
