Task 1.2 Jeroo Billimoria is not only an entrapranuier, but someone who saw a need. That need was the needs of children in India who were being abused or neglected and needed help. How could she find all these children in need of help? Well, the answer was in a telephone line that a child or someone who sees a child who needs to be rescued or needs help could easily call. Where did this idea come from? When Jeroo first moved to India she took pity on some street kids and gave them her home telephone number. She then realized how much street kids loved the phone, some would call because they were lonely, some would call because they were sad, and some would call just to say hi. But, sometimes they would call because they where hurt or they had been beaten and abused. Now there were a lot of agencies that took care of children in India but they weren’t coordinating with each other in any way. Jeroo gathered together a list of organizations in the Bombay area of child heath agencies, shelters, and educational facilities. Jeroo then went to some of the organizations and asked them to be part of a network called Childline. She and some staff members put up posters for the network that said “ten-nine-eight Childline” so that all the street kids who needed help could call and receive help by the correct agency that could be of the most service to the child. From there Childline spread from the Bombay area into cities across India and eventually into other countries where it was needed. Jeroo was able to help all these children across India and the world not because she tried to do it by herself, but because she became a leader and brought likeminded organizations into a network that could better serve the populous. By doing so, she helped countless people and was a proper entrepreneur. This was not because she made money or got famous, but because she gained trust and then people trusted in a network and in her idea spread and became bigger than she ever could have ever imagined.
