Liezl explores the fascinating story of Nic Jacobs and Ben Njoroge Nduba, two astounding people who met quite by chance, and who decided to pool their energies into making the world a better place - providing water and sustenance to the village of Kimbimbi in Kenya.

Nic and Ben join Liezl to talk about what drove them to complete their mission, how they came together, and the shared values that drive them onwards.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The project first began as an idea rooted in transportation, but transformed into a more permanent solution.
• The most beneficial solutions to humanity come from identifying a need that helps people, and applying the skills we have to the problem at hand.
• We often only see the end result of a life-changing project, but the work that goes on beneath the ground and behind the scenes is monumental.

BEST MOMENTS

'I came up with an idea unique!'

'We had a connection from the start'

'It's such a huge, philanthropic thing to do'
