Anyone for a game of football? There’s no electricity in this village in South Sudan but there is a generator and football hall – what more do you need?

Daniel trying soooo hard to look manly, as usual! But to not much avail.
Why is there barbed wire around the borehole, does it get locked up? Wondering how important a water source is, & whether people get barred from it somehow? Love the pic! xx
Hey El, you are very observant! Borehole is open most of the day. A gatekeeper sits out the front and helps to manage it. She collects a small amount of money from families to help with the maintenance of the borehole (about 30c a month) and also makes sure everyone uses it correctly. It may look basic, but if you don’t use it properly it can cause a lot of damage. It gets locked up at night time. Borehole and water is extremely important for people here. Anything of importance gets locked up at night – you should see the size of our gate 🙂
Cool, makes sense. So what happens at night that everything gets locked up against? Gang stuff, alcohol, vandalism?
So what was the verdict?
Not fixed yet, but hopefully will be in a week. Thanks for asking! x
Hiya Guys, have just seen your video so I now know its working. Great job! x
