Why didn’t she build those wells?
I know a guy that would go to Haiti every year and teach them how to build wells and then get the water into pipes to bring to various areas of the villages.
He would install one well and pipes to educate a group of locals, and then leave enough supplies for them to complete numerous other projects. I think he gave up after the third year. The supplies he had left had been sold so the group could buy stuff, and the pipes he had installed were torn up and sold too.
He then started setting up cell-phone and internet instead. He said that lasted longer. One - the people got entertainment. Two - the government had stiff penalties on tampering with it. The government used it to get its propaganda across, as well as keeping tabs on people.
Because the money went to salaries and fund raising to help get the wells.
"I’ve been doing this for 15 years, but we’ve been struggling to continue the work because funding, awareness, and advocacy all take work, ..."
Anybody can build a few wells. It's the three cardinal virtues, Advocacy, Funding, and Awareness that require real work, and the greatest of these is Funding, because Advocacy and Awareness flow therefrom. Here endeth the reading for today.
