    The world is really poorly addressed. This is costly & annoying in some developed countries, but around the world it hampers the growth and development of nations, ultimately costing lives. what3words is a unique combination of 3 words that identifies a 3mx3m square. Anywhere on the planet. It's far more accurate than a postal address and it's much easier to remember, use ∓ share than a set of GPS co-ordinates. It's a tiny piece of code that works across platforms & devices, in multiple languages. It works offline, where there is no data connection and it works with voice recognition.

    We have provided the 3 word addresses of each health centre within the West African Region. what3words is a simple, real-time, location referencing system which solves many of the key logistical issues facing aid and humanitarian organisations, for whom street addresses, GPS co-ordinates, and other systems don't exist or are problematic. Using words means non-technical people can find any location more accurately and most importantly, communicate it more quickly, more easily and with less ambiguity than any other system.
