THE SONDER PROJECT | 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

2020 PROJECTS COMMUNITY IMPACT

We are often asked why we don ’ t focus our work on poverty here in the United States .
The answer is simple — we look to do the most good for the most amount of people . Considering the majority of the global poor live in sub-Saharan Africa and the fact that the dollar can go a lot further overseas , our focus is clear . There are many wonderful organizations doing important work locally , and we commend their efforts . We ’ re all one big village .
There have been times in our organizational history when we have responded locally ( see page 20 ). If another local opportunity presents an urgent need and we feel we can have a significant impact , then we will act .
In the meantime , we see the greatest need in our partner communities in sub-Saharan Africa .
