Delivering Community-Based Solutions | Illac Diaz, Liter of Light

In this episode, I speak with Illac Diaz about the work that he is doing  at Liter of Light, and how he is building a business model that helps  communities move forward. It is a business model rooted in his belief  that communities can solve their own problems, but in helping them, he  creates a problem (that he must solve) for his own business model.About Entrepreneurs For Good Series:Through this series, we speak with Asia based entrepreneurs whose  mission it is to bring solutions to the environmental, social, and  economic challenges that are faced within the region to learn more about  their vision, the opportunities they see, and challenges that they have  had to overcome.It is a series that we hope will not only engage and inspire you, but  catalyze you and your organizations into action.
