I agree completely @clumsysilverdad.
That is the area where the results can be seen the easiest. A few dollars a day from the Steemit community could really make a difference in someone's life.
I also think the proving of this concept spreads a lot quicker there. One person making some decent money for the area will get others to listen very easily. Here in the US, at least, it takes a much higher dollar amount. So if you tell someone you made $100 they will be like, that is nice. Tell them you made $10K, and you have their attention.
In those parts of the world, we can provide the basics to them for only a few dollars a day...move them into the tens of dollars a day and we are uplifting entire areas.
That is the ultimate goal.
