Arunachalam Muruganantham
I'd heard of him before, but this is a far more complete article (and I'll have to go looking for the documentary and check out the TED talk).
Abstract: A school dropout from a poor family in southern India has revolutionised menstrual health for rural women in developing countries by inventing a simple machine they can use to make cheap sanitary pads

If you don't want to read it all, read the last two paragraphs. Read the last two paragraphs!
I've been slapped in the face with my own first-world privilege and yet I can't stop grinning about Arunachalam Muruganantham.
