When Blockchain Reaches Communities

<div class="text-justify">


When we first embarked on construction of the borehole projects, I recounted a story about how blockchain technology enabled sponsorship of the creation of boreholes in marginalized communities. Many people thought the story was great, but there were others who could not accept it as reality. 

Their disbelief was not surprising because many haven't witness a digital currency and decentralized platform providing clean drinking water to rural areas before. However, because of the many updates, pictures, and reporting we have consistently shared throughout this journey, more people are starting to believe what is possible when technology meets a  purpose.

This project has never been about numbers, or headlines. It is about people - real people - families, and children, and communities that had no access to clean drinking water and now can have a borehole only a few steps from their home. These communities drank contaminated sources of water, often walking miles to carry water to their villages from rivers or shallow wells.

Now they can turn on a tap or pump a borehole and drink clean potable water. And it is all because of the Hive blockchain-enabled it and gave support to those who need it the most. All of these have been possible with Hive playing a major role in our ability to do these borehole projects. We did not rely on outside organizations or middle people for any of it.

All support was done at the source of the platform, and that enabled us to move on to each project in a timely manner. It is also why we could address real needs on the ground and provide clean water to people who had survived too long without it.
On the Hive blockchain we have shared about every borehole project we've completed: their locations, community interviews, pictures, and updates have been provided on several social sites. 


The people in Fawoade, Jamasi, Gbamyamli,  and many more towns, did not only received water but received hope. We believe the imapcts and the stories we keep sharing all have the potential to inspire, to give exposure about Hive and the deal with the many misconception around crypto and the blockchain tech. That is also why we will continue to share not just the successes of these projects but the fact that the blockchain tech has the potential to transform lives. 


These boreholes are more than just infrastructure; they serve as proof that decentralized supported systems can deliver where centralized systems too often fail to reach. We appreciate everyone who has believed in the project from it onset, have supported, and helped to spread the impact stories about it. We are collectively not just discussing change, we are building and witnessing change. 

For the skeptics who are still wondering if blockchain can ultimately matter in the real world, we have shared more than enough to demonstrate not only is it possible, but it’s already happening. The smile on the faces of people who were once struggling to access water, but are now drinking clean water, speaks much larger than any words could. Hive is not really a platform, but a force changing lives where it matters.</div>

It gives joy knowing borehole is just a step from our home, family's wouldn't have to worry about clean water anymore, it's interesting.
