Huge Impact For $25 Million.......

When Paul O'Neill visited Africa in 2002 with rock star Bono, he learned that for $25 million each, Ghana and Uganda could provide potable drinking water to a large swath of the rural poor, alleviating diarrhea that kills 1.5 million children annually in the developing world.

So with all the aid going to Africa, why isn't this being done? Because there's no money in digging simple wells for rural poor. At $1,000 a pop, its difficult for the African kleptocrats to steal their fair share and there is no way that our son's and daughters will be provided a rural African adventure. With such a simple program, there is also little room to hire expensive consultants from the West to provide high paid technical assistance. Read this devastating piece here. I just loved it!!
