A little girl's selfless act raises millions to bring water to Africans.

Rachel Beckwith was going to be nine years old, and her mother was planning a party. Rachel told her mom she did not want any presents. She had read about an NGO which raises money and builds wells in Africa so people can have clean, fresh water, and she told her mother she wanted to create a web site so people could donate. She asked that people donate nine dollars, a dollar for every year of her life. Rachel had a goal of raising three hundred dollars, and she came up a little short as she received donations totaling 220 dollars. She told her mother she would try harder next year.

From 50 paise, she now earns Rs 200,000 a day.

She started her career 31 years ago as an entrepreneur, selling eateries from a mobile cart on the Marina beach amidst all odds -- battling a failed marriage, coping with her husband, a multiple addict, and taking care of two kids.

Today, she has overcome the hurdles and owns a chain of restaurants.

She married against the will of her parents. Unfortunately, the marriage failed but her parents never forgave her and she was on her own along with 2 children.

Do you know who she is...??

You may know Kareena, Katrina, Madhuri and Sridevi, but I can confidently say that 95% of Indians would not know this brave lady.
