#FaceAfricaWeek on Ladybrille | WATCH the ‘WHY FACE AFRICA?’ Campaign #whyfaceafrica

It has been really impressive to watch Saran Kaba Jones and her team grow Face Africa. As a business owner, one of the things I know is the challenge of growing a business from ground up. When the business is a non-profit, the challenges are even harder. In Saran’s case, not only has she done a remarkable job growing her business, there have been extensive solicitation of funds to realize the Face Africa dream, something not new to most non-profits. In addition, her travels (international) have been rather extensive over the years, again a major sacrifice to help the people of Liberia obtain clean water. Thirty (30) completed projects later and six current pending ones, there is much to celebrate about Face Africa.

Indeed, I am particularly proud of our community of Ladybrille (brilliant women), your resilience, determination and focus to achieve what usually seems like the impossible when you share your startup ideas with many.

Watch the latest campaign by Face Africa explaining why they do what the do.
