Sidebar, if anyone wants to contribute to make this happen on Lemmy let me know. There are many places around here that would greatly benefit from a well or rainwater collection, particularly schools.
That’s cool, these projects can be pricier or require more resources than one would think. Over here we’re saving up for a water treatment system for the whole neighborhood.
Definitely drilling a well is often substantially pricey, otherwise the tank and drainage from a roof is fairly common here and the drainage can always be done with scrap material in a pinch.
Hmm with the know how digging a well doesn’t have to be pricey, we did it here ourselves with just labor and pipes and ingenuity. Took several days and backbreaking work ( we had to spin and grind through some rock) but there is a way. Ask beyond commercial quotes and do it like countryside people do and can get one. (Once you have it though still gotta pay for the well pump and all, I more it’s not completely cheap but possible)
The pricier thing daunting me is the advanced water treatment system that’s at global standards.
First you saved us to market Catholicism, and now Atheism!? Why can y'all just "be" and exist and do good deeds without advertising!? ...and you all called yourselves "woke"!
tbf, China has been the lesser evil recently, so it's not surprising that they're more well liked. That said, them being less scummy has more to do with strategy than ethical considerations.
China at the moment is a bit like Valve. Is Valve perfect? Fuck no! But all others constantly shoot themselves in the foot. In the same way China can simply not change, while US president is looking for a new low to put himself in.
as much as I hate Christianity, they do a LOT of good like this. They give food to the homeless, assist local animal shelters, countless beach cleanups, etc. Helping others is a big thing Christianity teaches, good Samaritan and all.
Hell, the one my dad goes to combined with like 10 other churches of various religions and peer pressured the mayor into DRASTICALLY lowering gun violence last year and are working to lower rent this year (so far down 6% on average).
Hating orhers is also a big thing Christianity teaches. And no, not only in the sense that many use it to spread hate, it specifically teaches hate no matter how you see it.

Which place do you refer to? I could help similarly in the Philippines where we (my small companies) already do some charity work.
I live mostly in Tanzania and there's a lot of schools here who don't have access to clean water.
Wow great work! That’s awesome
Haven't done much yet personally although I'm working on it. Hopefully next year have some things set up.

i feel like that line from one of the MIB movies applies: A church is good, churches are corrupt. Or something like that.
How did they peer pressure the mayor into drastically lowering gun violence?
obviously the mayor was the one committing all the gun violence

The 2010s were so peak.
