"Before co-founding The Adventure Project, my work focused on bringing clean water to developing countries. Yet, everywhere I traveled, the same hopeful and urgent question was sung to me.
It echoed across the hills of Haiti, down the valleys of Kenya, and bounced along the lively streets of Liberia. Everyone appreciated the water. But, what they kept asking me was, "Are you hiring?"
Aid is always appreciated. But a good job will change your life.

We launched The Adventure Project because we grew tired of seeing so many charities building a community project and then walking away. It's easy to drill a well. It's harder to build systems, checks-and-balances and financial mechanisms to keep a well working. We don't shy away from details and hard things. The tough stuff is what matters most.
We partner with local organizations who are experts in the field. We come alongside to help with technology, marketing support and (most-importantly) funding so they can scale to create more jobs throughout Africa. It's more sustainable this way. And just the right way to do it.
We are data-driven and focus on the most-effective ways to lift people out of poverty while serving communities - for good. This means we do a lot of surveys. We go back. We listen. We ensure our work is working.
The Adventure Project is building community through entrepreneurship, sponsoring jobs in developing countries to improve child survival, reduce conflict, and move people out of poverty for good.
