Every human deserves access to clean water. Yet for some impoverished countries, developing the infrastructure to provide water is not properly addressed. With almost 24 million people, Mozambique is one such nation – nearly 40% of its population lives without clean water. To combat the water crisis, international organizations initially install water wells; however, over time, the internal pumps malfunction and must be repaired. The locals then become mechanics and rehabilitate the wells to a working condition. The communities then have a sense of ownership, as opposed to entitlement, and the reward for their hard work – clean water once again.
