Why Asia-Pacific?
Bottom line - Because it's hard
3 Countries In 3 Years
We were told it was impossible to reach every man, woman and child in Liberia. When we started our work there in 2012, Liberia was one of the bottom five the poorest countries in the world. The CIA’s Misery Index places Liberia as the second most miserable place to live and a subsidiary of USA Today online listed Liberia as the most corrupt country in the world. Those who needed clean water access in Liberia are who we call the “FORGOTTEN ONES.”
We knew if we could reach all of Liberia we could reach any nation on the planet.
Now that Liberia’s been reached, we’ve decided to stay focused on the most challenging places we can find. The islands scattered across the Asia Pacific certainly qualify in a big way. Read below to find out more.
