Focus in East Asia There is a large gap between the rich and the poor, especially as economies grow in this region. Nonprofit work is newly developing here, and we want to provide a framework to promote philanthropy and address complex social issues. Local nonprofits in East Asia often lack transparency. Unless they are held accountable, it is difficult to know whether well-meaning donations ever reach the intended recipients.
