Congo Helping Hands will be installing the four Lorentz SmartTap dispensers in two health clinics located in Kananga, DR Congo. I am excited by the project because it’s innovative using new technology to help solve the problems of accountability and sustainability. Here’s how it will be operated. Water customers will...

How to Deal with the Self Employed Entrepreneurs
In Kananga, I THINK the majority of people who consume the water are not the people who get the water. That is, the typical woman who is standing in line at the water source is probably a poorer, younger woman who is inkling out a meager daily living for her... Continue reading

What To Do With All That Cash
Congo is a cash currency society. Cash currency is the only way to do business. Even in the capital city of Kinshasa, a city of nine million, only a few merchants who cater to the expat community accept debit cards, credit cards, or mobile money. However, we will encourage our... Continue reading

Will or Can the Women Change?
There’s more to the installation of the Lorentz SmartTaps at the first two sites located at health centers in the Kananga. Really, the installation of the Lorentz SmartTaps sounds easy. That is, the installation will be almost a regular old plumbing repair. Simply, we demolish the existing concrete water stand... Continue reading

The Beginning of The First Half
With just one month to go, I am beginning to feel the pressure. Also, I am second guessing myself for the decision not to return to Congo in November as planned. The equipment was not there “as planned”. But there is always something to prevent things from happening “as planned”... Continue reading

Seth's Blog : Tools for modern citizens
Do you know Statistics, Germ Theory, Epidemiology, Decision Making, Propaganda and the Status Quo, Semiotics and Indoctrination, the Mechanics of Global Weather, Network Effects, and Artificial Intelligence? There's a few of those subjects I know a little about. It's time to hit the books again! Tools for modern citizens It has taken us by surprise, but in our current situation, when everyone has more of a voice and more impact on the public than ever before, it suddenly matters. You wouldn’t take your car to a mechanic who didn’t know how to fix a car, and citizens, each of us,... Continue reading

Fractions
One time that amazes me constantly on Facebook is that most people DON'T understand basic math like addition, substraction, multiplication, and division. Therefore, they really don't understand factions. I'm hooked on Fractions on Castbox. Check out this episode! https://castbox.fm/vb/385691983?_t=00%3A00 Continue reading

DRC top doc: 'The third wave is behind us', 'Must remain vigilant' - Outbreak News Today
I hope the COVID-19 pandemic stays under control in Congo. The "correct wearing of the masks" is required. “The third wave is behind us. But we must always be vigilant because we do not want there to be a 4th wave. This is really why the correct wearing of the masks is obligatory and also soon it is the vaccination. We will therefore resume vaccination and I ask you to make efforts so that the hesitations and resistance to vaccination can cease, “ he said. http://outbreaknewstoday.com/drc-top-doc-the-third-wave-is-behind-us-must-remain-vigilant-12109/ Continue reading
