charities are a tax on the poor simple as that...its a known fact that poorer comunities give more...you have been prayed on..shit man..they are probably showing pictures in african schools of homeless people in england and telling them to give money..hahaha..fuckin joke

@Lollertron ...im 36yrs old..since as far back as i can remember we have been pumping money into africa...my primary school teacher was knitting them blankets, we were sending food, blankets, fresh water...live aid, band aid, children in need...on and on and on and on..and dont forget its not only the country you live in that has been doing this since day dot....so kinda begs the question "why the fuck are they still drinking water from holes in the ground wearing the same damn rags..?"

africa should be a first world continent with the amount of billions we put into it yearly with international aid and all the charity funds

this isnt as bad as it looks, they do not drink this, they wash in this water

agree with that, but the above comment does nothing to HELP these people. Get onto your senator etc to take a global view, or get yourself in there, as my son did, to help them get piped clean water!

@SpenTK421 Because boiling water only kills bacteria and viruses. It does not remove the suspended solids, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Though this may seem more ideal, do your research and see the adverse human health effects of consuming way too much metal like copper, arsenic, potassium, etc. Many digestive and respiratory problems occur from overconsumption of heavy metals. Boiling treats only a very little amount of water requiring 1kg of wood to boil. Resources could be slim.
