An Indian couple on the brink bounces back, thanks to a Swiss foundation that supports microentrepreneurs. Both the charity and the model are the creation of Countess Albina du Boisrouvray, a Bolivian tin magnate's granddaughter who counts Monaco's ruling Grimaldis among her relatives. Shaken but determined, Du Boisrouvray sold off much of her business holdings, as well as paintings, pre-Columbian gold and silver objects and her country home near Paris, raising $100 million. She put $50 million into conventional charities: a program for terminally ill children in Switzerland, a rescue helicopter control center in the Alps, a center for health and human rights at Harvard University of Michigan, her son's alma mater.
