Even with all the training, parts, and encouragement in the world, Empire of Dust proved that Africans are entirely incapable of maintenance as an idea. It's an abstract concept beyond their ken. If they cannot properly conceive of the future as a direction to move towards with an end-state they want to acheive, then keeping a machine from breaking down makes no more sense than keeping a mountain from eroding, or a river from flowing.

Not only will they fail to maintain, they will actively destroy what is working to salvage the parts.

They see more value in short term gain than long term results. I’m not even sure they can conceptualize long term results.

Give the 3rd world a well and they dismantle it for scrap metal.

Teach the 3rd world to build a well and they forget in a day and never build a proper one in the first place.

This could be corrected out of a population in a generation.

But you'd need to seize control over education and media and the legal system, so it'd basically be colonization but done right.

And is what worth it? No, that's why everyone just comes in and pillages and funds the warlord who will give them the most shit.

If it took 15 min of maintenance, then the locals should be doing it. Especially if their lives depend on it.

Obviously, but given 100 wells, someone traveling to all of them, fixing them, in a matter of days/weeks and then reporting back, not exactly a big issue. Additionally the locals should be maintaining them, and do it gratefully rather than complaining. Reminds me of people asking me to fix their PC, only to blame me for the next issue, even if it happens over a year later.

Well then. you can probably ascertain from the original post why:

people were bringing up broken wells

shaming the guy who built them

and why he had to prove to them they were still working

a well doesn't break in a year. let's see it after 10, or 20.

you know, living in one of the poorer countries that still makes up a non-developing western countries (Romania), it really makes me sick seeing these nigger lovers spend dozens of millions on a bunch of tribals who won't even appreciate it. you guys seen that pic of him with all the niggers behind him? a few look like they want to murder him literally just as he's finished installing a well for them.

Most here are unhappy that Mr Beast is doing propaganda for likely useless African charity, but it is important to note that the initial claim that the wells failed was a bust and just a couple of people wishcasting on a podcast, which was then boosted by social media.

The news cycle moves really fast these days, but we should try not to repeat hearsay.

This is an excellent point to consider, but it begs the “yet” argument.

It’s like if I told my kid to not jump off living room furniture because he might sprain or break something. He then says “it didn’t happen the last time I did it.” But we both know it will happen given enough chances.

Africans do not do this. Me. Beast will have to send somebody forever.

He did it to make money from his brand. Also personal charity is a Christian value. Do you have an issue with that or do you think his money belongs to you or the government

Sorry that i don't support White idiots sending money to Africa just to virtue signal, when there's so much problems back home in the West as it is(why isn't he helping people in his own country?) , just so Africans will have a population boom and then those same Africans will end up moving to the West.

You are the one who is an idiot if you don't see what the problems with this is. Or you're just a subverter.

Feeding the poor to virtue signal still feeds the poor.

Charity is part of the code and creed assigned to us by Christ. If someone brags or profits off of it is really irrelevant if the impoverished still get the alms and aids they need.

I had a well for 22 years and replaced one part one time. These parts last a long, long, long time even without any maintenance at all as long as they aren't being actively sabotaged or abused.

22 years ago, every single part wasn't made in a sweat shop in China. We went 25 on the first, tank, and controller board. When we put in the new one 6 years ago, the frequency had to be tuned several times the first few months so the motor wouldn't burn up. Should the pumps have been installed by professionals? You'd like to think so. I can't imagine Africa has too many well specialist since before this they didn't have wells. But hey it's not my money for once

To be honest, given this is Africa, I wouldn't be surprised if this is true and the wells were claimed or made to look inoperable so that they could go 'your scheme didn't work, give us more money to support local projects WE control'

Basically the type of projects only 10% ACTUALLY goes where it's wanted and the rest is siphoned off for bribes, slush funds etc. At this point just cut off ALL aid to Africa, even China is looking to go that way, let them survive on their own and you'll get your population decrease globalists!
