Blockchain is a big deal and I genuinely believe it has the potential to change the world. Which is also why its disruptive force has had the financial community shaken. But outside the charts, and tokens and speculation, there is an aspect to blockchain that hardly lands in the headlines; building real world solutions to solve problems in the areas that need it most.
The power of this we have seen with Hive. We have achieved milstone with the borehole projects and that was something that sounded implausible initially but is actually happening, transforming lives in ways statistics and market trends can never express.
The video shared captures a landmark moment in Ghana at Kofi Agyei School where one of the 20 boreholes built around the country through the Hive blockchain and its ecosystem was officially opened. But this is not just any borehole this is what happens when we have technology that serves us.
Bempanase community and the Kofi Agyei School had struggled with access to clean, safe drinking water for years, this has imapcted more than 2000 students in the school. The only source that they had access to was unreliable, over-used and insufficient for their day to day needs. This exposes them to water-borne diseases and their learning experience and wellbeing disrupted at the most crucial times by frequent shortages in water supply
But, buried under their very feet there was hope; an underground water source, free-flowing and this is what Hive tap into to provide clean, sustainable water to the school and the surrounding community. During the launch ceremony, they all expressed their gratitude to Hive for coming to their aid.
This Project is beyond just a provision of infrastructure, It represents a transformation and how the blockchain technology can make it happen in our world today.It is also a call that no one should suffer from fundamental human needs such as clean water, and that the decentralized blockchain can fill the void where systems have collapsed. As far as I am concerned, I am happy to see Hive's commitment to bring about changes in the lives of many people. Thanks to everyone who has supported us to make this happen ones again.
