[Propoormaps @Propoormaps]

"In Asia, we often rely on governments to initiate things, especially when it comes to projects with social outcomes." true or not?

[Propoormaps @Propoormaps]

@Peaceful83 @MSF_USA I want to agree with that, but part of me wonders if creative ways of monetizing ethical solutions is more important...
