In some tribes in Africa, women and children bear the responsibility of fetching water for household use, while the men are responsible for ensuring the proper upkeep of the home, such as providing daily, weekly, or monthly housekeeping money, paying the bills, and other related tasks. Those unfamiliar with these tribes and their culture may assume that the men are insensitive, but that’s not the case, it’s more like a shared responsibility. I'm glad you witnessed this when you visited Africa but as to why the men don't usually engage in the act is what I have explained. Also thanks for the improvement suggested, going forward we will look into that. We always try to design the boreholes to suit the community's need or request and if they want it in a particular way we would will do accordingly.
