This is kind of like when a celebrity gets praise for donating $5000 to a kid's charity or something, and they do it once a year. But, if you look at it proportionally, it would be like someone on the median salary donating 20 cents.
Meanwhile, we have people doing that sort of "donation" every day with a single click. Not only bringing the bore holes, but also bringing some food to impoverished tables.
Here's a wild thought for us, for you and me... if Oprah donated 1 million dollars for building these boreholes, it would be like you or me donating about 26 bucks.
Now... tell me things are not fucked.
Inequity itself is not the wild part. It is that we enable it, tolerate it, and somehow, for some even the reverence of it.
