Asad Rahman

Founders of Project Enlighten, Asad Rahman and Olivia Lorge are Wildland Firefighters in the United States of America.
Asad Rahman and Olivia Lorge traveled to Cambodia together in 2005, in search of a young street boy Asad had met years before in Phnom Penh. The boy had left such a significant impression in Asad's heart, that he could not forget him. It was through pure happenstance or as some would say, fate, that Asad & Olivia found the boy residing in Aki Ra's Landmine Museum, roughly 240 kilometers away from where they first met. This chance meeting with the young landmine survivor inspired a dream to help children in Cambodia attain a higher education. Asad & Olivia saw there was a greater need to provide humanitarian support worldwide. With the initiation of Project Enlighten, all of this is possible while allowing them to continue to support and develop educational opportunities in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Burma.
