Interview: David Russell:
"We finance people in Africa, at the moment, to build wells... ...in some places it's not so easy. And, so, a well is fairly simple to do. And it's not that expensive. It costs us a couple of thousand Euros, approximately, a little bit less, a little bit more, depending on the place. So, we can kind of aim at getting that. And it really can make a difference."
