Strengths • Bringing fresh purified water to people dieingof thurst. • Making a difference in people’s live’s. • May lead to individuals (from Djibouti) being successful, from having water and better health. • Will motivate and spark new life in native people of Djibouti • Will help strengthen ties with the U.S. and Djibouti • Will also help other countries realize the U.S. and they’re willingness to help out other underprivilagedcountries. • Will help our companies name to be spread to other countries needing fresh water availability in the future. • Djibouti is certainly a partner with the U.S in security, regional stability, and humanitarian efforts. • Djibouti supports the U.S. especially after the gulf war and September 11 attacks. They oppose terrorism. • Also allow U.S. complete access to Djibouti’s Ports
Weaknesses .We are dealing with a very dry area, which has 2 lakes, no rivers and gets essentially no rainfall .We are trying to bring clean, purified water into dessert area. This is much tougher than trying to help a country with clean water in a more lush setting (Like Angola). . We are covering several area with the canal system, instead of just one specific area.
Opportunities • We could take our water canal purification system to other countries instead of just Djibouti • With success will gain recognition. • We can start networking ourselves not just in Africa but worldwide
Threats • Other Companies that have the capability of creating the same canal/purification system who might have more money or power. • Being from the U.S., and not a closer neighboring country. • Closer countries with money and companies have advantage of being closer to the action, and also possible better ties/relationships with the Djibouti • Technology • Billionaires/celebrities/bigger companies, who have the power to donate large amounts of money and rule out smaller companies for the less fortunate. . The terrorist group (Al-Shabaab, loosely affiliated with Al-qiada) is based in Somolia( a close neighboring country). Poses a threat to U.S. Citizens in Djibouti .U.S. citizens traveling in East Africa should be aware of indiscriminate attacks/bombings on civilians in public areas. . Recent Pirate threats around the ports. horn of Africa ( near Ethiopia and Somalia)
Technology • The mobile cellular coverage is limited to the city of Djbouti primarily, not including the outskirts. • Main line telephones: 11,100 • Mobile Lines: 35,400 • Am1, FM1 radio stations, 0 Shortwaves • Internet users: 13,000, internet hosts:1,540 • Technology could be more spread out through country instead of just Djibouti the main city. • The amount of computers and cell phones issued and used compared to the population is very low considering the roughly 750,000 population.
Statistics • Population: roughly 740,528 people (2010), growth rate: 2.1 percent • Birth Rate: 25.58/1000 • Infant Mortality: 56.6/1000 • Life expectancy: 60.7, pretty low compared to the U.S • Land area : 8,486 sq miles • Literacy rate: 70.3
Building Goodwill • We already have a good tie with Djibouti with military, security and regional stability. So we have great ties to begin with. • We want to go even further and support them with fresh water to areas where its is bare. • We want to lead and show this country we want to help them and allow them to have accessible and fresh water to some of the main areas/locations throughout the country. • We want Djibouti to talk. • We want to set a great example. • With the amount of money in this world no person should go without having several glasses of water a day. Every country with a water problem should have already been fixed.
