A crash course in changing the world.
I thought this project to get water kiosks up and running in the city Blantyre was a great example of not smothering people with solutions, but rather helping them take ownership and initiative with the right incentives. It demonstrates that teaching a person to 'fish' as opposed to giving them a 'fish' is much more sustainable in the long run. It creates a culture of learning and responsibility for improvement.
