10/40 Facts:

  • About two-thirds of the world's population resides in the so-called "10/40 Window," an area which includes all of South-east Asia.
  • It is estimated that over 8,000 people groups live in this region of the world.
  • About 80% of the world's poorest live in the 10/40 Window.
  • It is home to over 80% of those with the poorest quality of life as judged by life expectancy, literacy rates, etc.
  • It is home to "close to 100% of those who are both most-poor and have least-access to Christian resources" (Wikipedia, 2015).

Keeping the above in mind, here are some things we seek to do in the near future to expand our work and to help the local people. (See also our Current Projects page for more about what we are doing.)
