Saran Kaba Jones – Liberia

In 2008, after spending nearly 20 years abroad, Saran Kaba Jones returned to her native Liberia and came face to face with the hardships faced by her fellow citizens. One of the common challenges is the lack of access to clean running water. Saran, then 26, set out to solve this problem by founding FACE Africa, an organization that builds infrastructure to provide safe access to clean water for rural communities.

FACE Africa is currently working hard to solve the water crisis in River Cess, one of Liberia’s struggling areas. The organization has changed the lives of more than 100,000 people by providing them with clean water. Thanks to her life-saving work, Saran, now 35, is a Board Member of the UN Women Civil Society Advisory Group and a 2013 World Economic Forum Young Global Leader.

Eat green Fresh fruit, vegetables, roots, nuts and legumes are alkalizing to the body, so increase the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat.

Reach for dark or  green vegetables  such as beetroot, avocado, broccoli, spinach, kale, peas, beans and cucumber. 2. Reduce acidic foods You don’t have to cut them out altogether but try and limit your intake of meats, eggs,  refined sugars , white flour and dairy. 3.
