Carter Center and International Real Estate
Maybe that combination sounds like a stretch; but I see a very strong connection. Most of the places where the Carter Center http://www.cartercenter.org works are places that should be paradise; but instead are more like little hells. The potential for tourism and retirement and 2nd homes would be enormous in places like sub-Saharan Africa if it were not for the disease, violence and lack of infrastructure and education.
The Carter center works to combat Guinea Worm in Africa and River blindness in Central America. They fight Malaria wherever it exists. They train police in human rights. They monitor elections around the world. Their work has to be many years ahead of developers and vacationers. Before a locale becomes a great place to visit, it should become a decent place to live.
Think about the climate and natural beauty that exist in so many undeveloped countries around the world. There is tourism and people do have 2nd homes in these places. How much greater would the potential be without the fear of crime and disease? How many more people would go if they could be assured of good utilities, transportation and health care facilities?
