- stcredzero 17y agoI'd rather the community/polity got a grant so that boy could be engaged in an activity with greater economic leverage. Or better still, be in school. Such infrastructure would be in the "hand-up, not hand-out" category to me. Also, the availability of fresh water on industrial scales would be an economic enabler in itself.
- ajju 17y agoIt doesn't have to be a boy. There are many poor communities around the world where fully grown men would be thankful for any job.
