They love to talk about their problems and invent “goals” for the future, but they have never been in much of a hurry actually to do something about any of these problems. If the UN had taken all the money they have squandered on wasteful, pointless annual clusterf*cks where they once again each year talk about global warming and how awful it all is, and used that money to launch a well-drilling campaign, they could have provided Africa with safe drinking water across the continent. Which is one of their “goals.” I use quotes for goals because they don’t really intend to reach any of them, so they are not really goals at all.

On African well drilling—there is a well known apparently true story about a Christian charity that drilled some wells in a poverty stricken remote African village. They trained the locals how to use the wells and figured everything was good.

A year later a couple of folks from the charity dropped by to see how the village was doing.....

It turned out the villagers had capped over the wells and refused to use them—and refused to explain why they had done so.

A neighboring villager explained what had happened.

It turned out that in the pre-well days the village had organized its day around sending all the children to collect buckets of water from a stream a good distance away—it took a couple of hours for the round trip.

Those were the two hours the adults reserved for sex!
