About how society gets relief through adaptation

In Chapter 6, "master the art of adaptation", Crutchfield mention an important feature about organizations: adaptation! This characteristic gains major importance for society whenever the adaptation is done by social entrepreneurs. In my concept, adaptation it is the key feature of nonprofits because they are the adapted response to changes in society. These changes can be gaps or needs that society is going through. In this sense, whenever nonprofits make an adaptation, it certainly relief and renew society. The example that I am bringing today is about and innovative invention made by an social entrepreneur. The device is known as "LifeStraw, a personal point-of-use mobile water-purification tool designed to turn any surface water into drinking water." This innovative response was made as an adaptation to social pressures to have a solution for the thousands of people without drinking water and the pressures of cost to install large equipment to purify water for the population.
