Although, in this instance, leading with carbonated mineral water will be more like their water flavor wise. It will help them to later recognize just how sweet pure water is.
I’m grateful every single day for clean water, indoor plumbing and dental floss. It is good to be humble and appreciate everything. It blows me away a sparkling water is a day’s wage for these gentlemen. Feeling grateful and wishing you all good health and happiness.
Fun fact: Bill Gates tried to fix the plumbing problem in 3rd world countries, he came up with a toilet that burns your poop. But it was too expensive to make for easy access.. in Sweden they cost around 4000$. Its only good for people with money.. sadly.. it Would have fixed the problem without plumbing.
@@GregoryLevas Bill Gates could have covered the expense easily, and donated the toilets. Seems it was just another scheme to profit from the poor. Hopefully he goes the same way as his friend Jeffrey Epstein.
@@sophiedash4026 Not really. At $4000 a pop, Bill Gate's net worth would only cover about 32 million of them out of the 1+ billion people it would need to get to. It would have to come down to about $100 for him to barely be able to cover everyone.
I donate to drill wells in villages all over the world. This is life changing in so many ways. I watched a show where an upper middle class girl would go to live with a girl her age in a village. The teenager in Africa had to walk 10 miles daily to get water from a small watering hole where the animals also drink from. It looked terrible, plus, it has so many germs that people are often sick from the water. By the end of the week or two she was there she was very grateful for everything she had and the village got a well-drilled. Wouldn't that be great if we could do that for these villages?
i've been in Turkey last summer and i think they have some law about drinking water availability or smth. EVERY store has fridge with bottled water of 2 local brands at such low prices that i was shocked. It was around 0.09 USD for 1.5 liter and 0.05 USD for 0.5 L. So anyone can afford it.
Prior to 2020 I could ger a 2 litre bottle of water 17p (£0.17) from Morrisons supermarket here in the UK. Since then it's crept up, 21p then 34p and now I think it's 38p.
I just paid $3.39 for a 500 ml bottle of Evian water from a supermarket today. Normally there’s no way I’d even consider paying that but I was not, dry and needed water.
Interesting that you used Nestle water. One of their executives stated that water is not a right, but a privilege and that people should pay for it. During the terrible Californian droughts, Nestle had bought the rights to water, and they took every damn drop to sell, leaving the locals with water restrictions. They are a terrible company who have done many things like that in the past.
So true Xymo. Although I been away for several years now, I believe Nestle has purchased the rights to the Zephyrhills springs in Florida.Very good water. The previous owners had a pipeline to a public space that allowed you to fill your own container and pay what you could afford. One can only wonder if that is still the case.
@@jeffreywells3884 I can guarantee if Nestle owns it, it is not. They were also the company that had big billboards in third world countries convincing poor women that their own milk was not enough for their babies, and that they had to buy Nestle formula, and mix it with their own local - often dirty - water to feed their babies. Infant mortality was sky-high because of that. They never had a conscience, and if they ever did a generous thing, you can guarantee there was a profit to be made from it.
@@jeffreywells3884 They did a similar thing in Ontario, Canada. Bought the land that a natural spring is on that people used to be able to get water for free from, banned civilians from the land, and now that spring water is sold worldwide. They’re horrible and the water is terrible anyway.
This title interested me because I was a water purification specialist in the military at one point and thats my field now in environmental engineering. So many take clean water for granted and if they could see some of the conditions I've seen in my travels, I promise they wouldn't. Bless these folks!
I can only imagine what you’ve seen! I didn’t fully appreciate clean, safe drinking water until I moved to another state where the municipal water supply had a foul odor & horrible taste. I’m not sure if it was deemed unsafe to drink, but I was unable to stomach it. Sadly, I was in an unfortunate financial situation, so purchasing bottled water was something I couldn’t always afford. The effects of chronic, long term dehydration are nothing to sniff at. Thankfully I’m back to my hometown where I never take a single drop for granted.
@@EsotericOccultist ikr, its their own fault. Its so horribly disgusting all these people shitting in the water, the streets and whatnot. Truly disgusting people
@@Meer101 and Nestle (2nd brand ) gets their water for practically nothing and is making a fortune. Indigenous people in the U.S. still fight to bring the fact that “ water is life “.. aka “ MINI WICONI !” I drink bottled water too bc if the chemicals in our tap water but will not purchase Nestle .
I'm an old man now, soon to turn 70...but I grew up in a very rural area of the U.S., and all of our water came from a deep ground well that ran through a large limestone passage (so those that dug the well said). I very much understand their comments on 'acid' or 'alkali', 'sweet' or 'sour' water. It's been over 50-years since I've tasted water, like I had as a child (and took for granted). Our water was so chilled, right from the ground...and tasted 'sweet', almost as if a pinch of sugar was in it. Even in traveling the world as a grown man, having drank 'direct glacier water'...I've never tasted another water that was so clean, so sweet, since my childhood...and still remember it for that.
I live in a more rural part of the us where I helped my cousins dig a well but we have an electric pump for the house that runs the filters and everything but it still comes out clear and the ground water is still good enough to drink raw
My uncle had a farm he grew up on with a 280ft well that his family had been drinking from since he was a child. He also had a newer 90ft well. There was a definite difference in taste and we always used the deeper well for water we would drink or cook with. Even though it took longer to get water from because it had a hand pump and I was bad about forgetting to to refill the gallon jug to prime it with
I had a feeling they weren't going to like the sparkling water. I'm from America and I think it tastes funny. I also like seeing other tribal people from around the world. I'm Native American and I actually live on a reservation with my tribe. It's really neat seeing the similarities and differences we have. I wish you guy's the best. I really enjoy the content. From one tribal member to another, praise be to God, and may you have a long life.
I think, and this is just my personal take, that for me a lot of the reason I don't like 'sparkling water' is that my whole life I've been drinking sugared soda water (Coca Cola, Dr Pepper, etc.) and so when tasting non-sugared carbonated water, my taste misses the sugar and my brain reacts negatively. It almost tastes medicinal to me because of it. I have noticed though, certain fruity flavored sparkling water is a lot more tolerable, such as the Orange or Pineapple ones.
I live in Canada and the truth is scary tbh, Canada controls like 80% of all clean drinking water in the world. Mostly because of the Great Lakes and the glaciers up north, but truly sad knowing we still don’t have a system to deliver water to every single person in the world 😢
@@Bob-pk9jr cose I wanted to be comfy, sitting on the couch doing work (and youtube) for a long period of time and wanted to ensure i had everything i needed and wouldn't need to get up for anything. I even have some venison biersticks within reach for a snack.
I have been having a chuckle watching this series, but this video really stopped me in my tracks. Appreciate everything you have and take nothing for granted.
I couldn’t even focus on your video because I couldn’t stop thinking about my favorite guys and their sweet families do not have clean water. Watching your videos and getting to know all of you through them brings such a connection to us all, so seeing our “loved ones” have such struggles makes me so upset. I wish there was something we could do! You guys deserve to have accessible, clean and nourishing water. In America, we all take our lives for granted. I just adore you guys and I pray that times will change very soon for Pakistan in this regard specifically! 💧In the meantime, I’ll add this to my prayers and may we, as a YT community, help give supplies for cleaner water for our Tribal People Try! 💗
Nikole, there are several clean water charities that are trying to get clean water around the world. I personally have donated several times to Living Water International, but you can find several others doing the same thing.
I have read about many charities about helping people globally with water purification. It hits harder because I personally love these people and I want what’s best for them. The only charities I’ve ever worked for or donated were for children and their education nationally and globally. Hopefully big changes can happen soon for all that need it out there.
Fyi our country wants to sanction them. So itll continue to get worse for them as for all nations we sanction. Sanctions are meant to strangle n destroy.
Okay known fact: when I was deployed in this area the local contractors would always ask at the end of their shift if they could have a six pack of water. Most times we US military we would give them 2-3 six packs and loved seeing the smile on their faces. This video is so accurate on so many levels. 😢
i didnt realize or was ignorant to the fact the water situation was that bad, but we always gave as much as we could, hell we had pallets of water sitting in bunkers everywhere just boiling in the heat
It’s so good to hear this. Really highlights the human side of military deployed in those countries. I’m not an American and you often hear negative stories about US military “bringing democracy” but this puts a human face to it. Thank you.
As a master plumber , I have a deep desire to help communities like this . There is a long list of things that can be done to aid them in improving health concerning plumbing /water filtration / food storage / hygienics.
We prefer to give war corp billions of dollars to make bombs to kill people like this....and Russians and Ukrainians of course. .. amounts many times more than it would take to provide clean water to these communities. Is repugnant.
And to think our government (USA) spends billions on BS when we could have (and still can) get filters and wells for these places that don’t have clean drinking water. Politicians priorities are so messed up, they don’t even help our own people, let alone those in real need. Sad
if you live in the u.s thats kinda ironic to say. i remember growing up in a community here with no clean water, we had to shower for only 2 minutes before our water turned brown. not everywhere in u.s is privileged, but im glad theres more privileged here than there
@@clyde7512 because many of us who live in more privileged areas of the US or any country grow up with no idea how poor the infrastructure is just down the road. Even then, because no one wants to invest in upkeep, even the predominantly white middle and upper class areas may start to see things like poor roads, frequent boil water notices, etc. Its honestly depressing how many of us here grow up in the bubble.
I wish I had the money to send these men a Sawyer Mini filter straw. It filters up to 100,000 gallons of water before it stops filtering. Incredible little gadget that could save thousands of lives in countries like this.
Sincerely sorry if this hurt you , but tubewell /ground water we have here is Punjab is one of the fresh water available on earth cuz its come from mountains and is stored in earth (which is best natural storage) I have tasted both filtered and ground water and I can say that ground water is far better pure. Just my opinion
@@marvelfan526 Water from springs is higher purity which is why they use it for bottled water. If the water you speak of was cleaner, it would be used for bottled water
@@timothyjn100 Actually I wasn't talking about spring water or river water I am talking about ground water. In Punjab we have Tubewells Or atleast a Well in majority of houses. Even government test it's PH value time to time and it's always between 7-7.5. Maybe water from spring is of high quality but I don't think we need 101% pure water, we need water like groud water or natural water which have essential Minerals in it, it's better than artificially purified water.
Clean drinking water in every home should be a human right. I am grateful for where I was randomly born on this planet, and that paying for bottled water is not something I've ever had to consider.
You don't have a right for things to just magically show up in your home. You have a right to go out and procure water when you need it but other people bringing it to you at their expense is not your right. You don't have a right to other people's labor.
@@EsotericOccultist Fair enough. But it's hardly an expensive process. The shelf price for bottled water should mirror the small effort that goes into making it. The bottle itself can't cost more than 2p. We have very large bottled water companies here and they're considered snake oil salesman.
@@EsotericOccultist In the US, unless you have a private well, water that comes to you is paid for, either as part of your rent, part of your taxes, or to a private third party vendor. Unfortunately too many places we are paying for water that isn't clean or healthy. The most famous example of that is Flint, Michigan. My sister and I lived in different locations in NY, had to pay for our water, yet could not drink it. The water where I was was alright for bathing, or cooking or laundry, not for drinking. My sister had to install a commercial grade filter (at her expense) just so the water could be used for laundry. It had to be further filtered separately to be able to drink it or cook with. We both paid our lical municipalities for the water. I think we have the right for that paid water to be potable.
Hi you beautiful people, this has actually hit me very hard and I am crying. I am so so sorry that fresh water is not a certain for you and your community. Is there other inequalities that you face that you thing have also not been addressed fully? Love to you all and your families xxx
It's not that bad miss TH-cam channels sometime put captions in such a way that make the other side look like living in Underworld with Hades We may not have factories providing us water which actually is chlorine but we have enough natural water which is healthy and tastes good Thanks for your concern Have a great day
@@justinusberger3933 whoa!! How the hell did you skip your way to that conclusion? Wanting the world to blame you?? You need to see a therapist about your life trauma before you get on the internet and start commenting to stir a race war!
My family are from Bangladesh and my husbands family are from Pakistan but we've both been born and raised in London. Although, we are both aware of how lucky we are and can see the differences between us and our extended family in the South Asian countries, I feel like even our family over there are in a more privileged position than these fine gentlemen. It was so saddening and a reality to check to hear Rafique say that 150 Pakistani rupees is a whole day's work wage. I had to check how much that equates to in GBP and it comes to only 64p. So sad and yet those of us that have so much in comparison still complain.
88 cents here in the US. My husband is Indian, from Bangalore. He grew up pretty privileged in my opinion, he had a lot more than I did growing up poor in the USA lol but we decided long ago we never wanted kids, and instead we support orphanages and women's charities in his hometown. Our first donation to an orphanage was $500 and after they received it the place sent us so many emails with pictures showing the kids eating well and getting medical care, for months. It was 50 kids and they could eat for months off this. We were so happy but also heartbroken to realize how much $500 could do for these kids when in most western countries children have toys (phones, tablets) that cost more than that. We still donate monthly to various organizations, having his mom or sister check the places to be sure they are legitimate. I still feel guilty every day.
@@rapa2894 You shouldn't feel guilty, you're one of the few doing work to remedy this situation. The disparity between both worlds is shameful, I agree, but you are not to blame for it. I visited an orphanage in the Gambia when I was a student - I took a suitcase full of toys, pens, notebooks etc - cost me less than £10, but it brought weeks of joy to the people we visited.
This just makes me more sad than it brings joy :/ Something i think is normal is something new to people older than me. They lived longer than me but never had clean water... They are so humble
This video hit close to home. My parents when they lived in Mexico never had luxuries like clean water. Years of sending money to tap a spring saved their home village. Now they have a lake and wells. Something like clean water, I will never take for granted. Just seeing these guys reactions reminds me of my grandparents. Everyone in this world deserves a refreshing drink of water.
If you're American, then how do you have clean water in your house? You must be very rich, being able to buy only Mountain Valley water and never any of the brands that are not clean instead!
What surprises me is that everyone is so surprised! Why aren't people understanding what it means to live in a Third World country? Hundreds of millions of people all over the world deal with their everyday survival for themselves & their families, water, food, shelter, etc. It is nice that everyone is feeling compassion for these wonderful gentlemen we have been enjoying for so long, but have not grasped what daily life is like for a great portion of the world. I keep reading "they deserve etc..", but what people deserve & what the realities of life present are two entirely different things. I am still glad this channel is showing us a closer look at how daily life is for these men & their families & hope I see fewer comments from people who assume they have access to the many things we take for granted. Yes people, count your blessings & don't be so quick to make assumptions that everyone has the same life experiences that you have.
Because most Americans don't leave their city much less their country. I have been to over a dozen countries and 40 states so far. When Americans talk about growing up or being poor, they really don't know what poor is.
You’re surprised? What’s surprising is that you’re somehow surprised. How can you expect people to have a frame of reference for a life they’ve never witnessed or been exposed to? Or more so, never actually lived. Sure, some of us try our best to remind ourselves just how bad it could be, but even then, we aren’t drinking sewage infested water, every single time. Your best effort doesn’t even come close to understanding their everyday. You’re merely trying your best, which is nice. But countless people don’t even have enough awareness or curiosity about these living conditions across the globe. And so they simply do not have many thoughts about them, certainly not enough to remember everyday just how good they have it. This leads to people being surprised every time they’re confronted with this insight. The less you’re exposed to something, the less you think about it. Simple concept to grasp. Being surprised by this doesn’t reflect your level of thinking that well
Because they see that they have a TH-cam channel and forget they are from (rural) Pakistan and what that means in terms of comparing economy, human rights, labour etc...
Because the usual depiction of the third world to the US is having it bad but still having the bare minimum to even qualify as part of the classification of "third world" because it's never usually these truly remote and detached peoples that get media attention, it's almost always the very poor but still generally functional areas of the world that get such attention because the media doesn't want to actually help, they want JUUUUUUUST enough hope to be there that they can siphon money for the causes they report on, otherwise if someone sees the reality of how poor some places are, truly, they are either going to ignore it because it seems hopeless or people might actually start demanding something more substantial be done.
Shows how much waste we produce in the West , all that energy and material for one bottle of water . Always so humble . Much love to these guys and families as usual . ❤️🇬🇧
To hear this man talk of having to boil the germs out of their water for their children is indeed humbling. I am so grateful to have been privileged enough to live in a country where clean water is plentiful.
Us first world countries take a lot of things for granted. I’ve seen several videos with these gentlemen and I would gladly share a meal and learn from their experiences. I’m honored gentlemen to hear your thoughts. 🙏🏾
Don’t forget, the citizens in developed Western countries pay a significant portion of their income to the local and federal government to have safe water on tap along with many other resources we take for granted.
That’s true. I see people every day throw around the word privileged on the stupidest things. If you can go home and take a 💩 in a toilet full of clean water you are privileged. If you can walk in your home and flip a switch and have lights you are privileged.
Guess it is not 'first world' buddy. That term is a bit naive. I am Kenyan but with clean water, electricity... pretty much everything the so called '1st world' has... and with a home and land to grow anything i need to eat from...
As someone who didn't know sparkling water (only knew it by name from the internet) I DID feel abused when i bought an extra expensive water bottle only for it to taste like ducking gasoline istg- how do people drink this
The simple things we as Americans take for granted 😞 I actually felt bad watching their reactions to clean water! Praying for better conditions for people around the world 🙏🏻✌️
True we actually don't think that much about it ( Atleast me) But it is so weird that we waste extreme amount of water every day compared to people that can't even have clean water. For example in Sweden here we have clean water everywhere even toilet water is drinkable
I am 1 of 4 water treatment plant operators for a city in California. Watching this episode is amazing to me. We get complaints on water quality from customers if there is air in their water lines. Amazing what westerners take for granted. The plant I help operate produces anywhere from about 5 to 10 MGD (million gallons per day).
@@zerotodona1495when I was going through firefighter training the line I was manning had an air bubble pass through it when the engineer opened another valve on the truck. The nozzle bucked hard enough it knocked both me and my partner who was backing me on our asses.

@@noahd4210 I would not live in the US if I was given a home there. Terrifying place to me. Police behaviour is shocking, no abortions, so many places with no clean water (Flint, just for one) no free healthcare, etc. My country is going the same way but it’s not as bad as Amerikkka.
Where I live is hot to the point that if I put less than half a glass of ice and fill it with tap water, it will all be melted by the time the glass is full 😂 our tap water is "safe" but not pure well water, it's chemically treated. I prefer to use the ice and water from my fridge door because it's colder and it's filtered, still from the same tap but tastes much better.
Mountain and underground spring water are the best! I consider myself lucky to have tried them because most humans won't get to enjoy that gift of nature.
In the middle east we don't really drink tap water it's too hard. And in the summer it comes out probably at 60 C or more. Gets heated if there's metal piping.
I feel quite shameful in the way we love in modern society. These elegant men are so humble and proud even through the day to day hardships for them and their families. Blessings to them.
I remember talking with my younger brother about how he hates to drink water and prefers to drink sodas instead. Of course we live in America and have endless luxuries. This video is actually kind of heartbreaking.
Try fasting with no food for a 30 hours. Then have him eat sugarless crackers or bread/roti. Then give him a fresh bottle of poland spring, or fiji... gurantee he'll enjoy it. When I was in Guatemala they drinked from these bags or wells; only some areas had clean bottled water but it was super expensive at least for the locals.
I was just reading in the news about my home county in the UK having an outbreak of E. Coli in the tap water and thinking how outrageous that was, but seeing this has really put things into perspective. I'm really shocked that a single bottle of clean water costs a day's wages in Pakistan. I really hope they get clean water sorted out for their population asap - it really is an absolute essential.
They have more affordable bottled water available, as long as there's stores they can get to in the rural areas. These are so expensive in comparison because they're imported. It's not like in the states where imported goods are often cheaper due to how much lower labor wages are in comparison. Basically we pay them chump change to manufacture goods for us, which is why their wages are so low. Companies and entire countries get away with it by basically bribing their governments to keep them impoverished. Capitalism baby.
The first bottle was carbonated water which is more expensive than "regular" water. However having easy access to clean drinking water in third world countries is a huge concern. Many young girls don't get an education because they spend their days walking several miles more than once a day to carry back heavy containers of clean water.
@@synthiamcbride7194 Actually, not so clean water. Some of the water they collect makes them sick. Check out The Water Project to see folks who drill wells in villages.
You're creating incredibly important content, and I find it incredibly interesting. Everyone involved seems so grateful and warm-hearted; it's a joy to watch.❤
I am from Finland. I just drank a glass of water, took a little too long shower and flushed the toilet with clean drink worthy water. Finland is a land of lakes, we have a LOT of clean water. It is so humbling to see these people drink clean water for the first time. I am so fortunate, and I need to remember this every day.
My heart went out to these four men. We have it so easy, but are unaware of the difficulties of others. I love these guys, they make me laugh more than any other channel on YT. Many thanks!
It's good of you bringing awareness to this subject. Water is its own sacred consciousness of which we are all entitled to as born inhabitants of our planet. Water is life.
They aren’t doing shit. They are exposing these men. In the title it says giving them clean water. They are giving them carbonated water which taste like shit. They are making money off views. Fuck them
No idea how I found this channel but I love it! As a person from Sweden that has one of the best tap waters in the world, seeing this is so damn wholesome.
I just found out about your work after TH-cam tried to take your channel down. Now, I am so happy to see you! I am so glad that your channel has been restored. Praise Allah/God!
I've spent the last hour watching all these videos and I have to say it's opened my mind in so many ways. The appreciation these people have for literally everything. I'm glad these were recommended to me.
Americans don't realize that someday we too will have to pay premium prices for our drinking water. Nestle has been working diligently for years behind the scenes to slowly buy up water sources in the US and other countries.
It's been a dream of mine to share these wonderful things to people who have never had access to these things. The creators of this channel are going to be very blessed and have many grateful souls to them in the after life
All countries are growing day by day, and hopefully for the better. I love this channel. The people featured are always so kind. I would love to cook for them and bake an apple pie for dessert! Best regards from Tampa Florida, Lisa Watson Harris
Watching this was profound. I feel so lucky to live in a country with clean water yet so many people where I live ignore the clean water to drink soft drinks. Its insane.
Definitely cut down on soft drinks, I know they can taste amazing but they're not that great for your body. Drink that clean water! I live in Scotland and the tap water is incredible, that's all I drink!
Scottish water is very good. I live in Staffordshire in the West Midlands, and we have very limey water (to the point where you can taste it clearly) - but to me it's normal and no one here seems to mind it.@@leeriches8841
Tribal people are my people. We live under harsh conditions and trust me we look for the cleanest water we can get out of the spring or flowing river. Bottled water is a luxury to us yes, but we are proud clean resourceful folks. Please treat them with respect because they are great people.
Hearing about the sanitation of the water in their reaction to drinking fresh clean water actually made me tear up when we have something everyday we take it for granted I hope that things get better over there for you guys love from Denver Colorado USA
I'm glad I found this video, I thank God every day for access to mountain spring water and I'm happy that this helps show people fortunate like me how to remain grateful
I’ve been fortunate to work in humanitarian aid in Pakistan and meet people in remote areas. 99% are so innocent and trusting there’s honestly not a bad bone in they’re bodies. Watching this reminds the humbling experience I had.
Man I can be so ungrateful....we take so many things for granted....these people are so humble and grateful for things we don't even value as we should
We forget how LUCKY we are to have clean water right from our taps!!!! I take too many things for granted, I can see. Bless these men with Good Health!!!👍👍👍👍👍💗💗💗
I lived in a rural town in Sweden until i turned 14 and there the water is filtered through a natural sediment if stones and sand it tastes amazing have you ever drunk loka water? It is actually the exact same water source as that spring water.
It's crazy that stuff that we take for granted these people really put it in perspective I will always watch their videos and I've been getting my fiance to watch it too because it really changes your mind perspective and makes you appreciate things even more. I pray for the people on this channel every single day and I hope you know we keep supporting them and keep watching them and they get all the benefits they reap from our support because that is what they deserve they deserve a good life they deserve clean water they deserve decent food. They deserve to be happy and I love seeing the smiles on their faces and their appreciation for everything they get.
Yes I am grateful for living where I live here in Sweden. I know that lots of cities got purified water that taste like chlorine. I have never tasted it because our water comes from straight from the ground and is really clean and ice cold. We even have like a eco park here where the water comes up straight in to the river like small tiny gaisers. You can drink straight from the source. There used to be a Viking ceremonial place there too once in the time. It is called Frostbrunnsdalen. The name Frost is just as it sound. But in the old days it was called Fröstbrunnsdalen before the Christians came and changed it. Frö is the Swedish name of the Norse god Frey. The god of fertility. People came there in the spring to place flowers and stuff and to drink the water.
I would have love to see them drink just regular water. I don't like carbonated water either. ah! here it is! so many different water are available, let them taste all of it! 😁
@@sqn175 I know I didn't. As soon as all four of them made faces at the "water" they were served, I stopped watching. It seemed like an evil trick to call that crap water and serve it to those hard-working gentlemen who can't afford proper water. Due to your comment, I'll go back and see what I missed. If you hadn't said that, I probably would've just left after reading the comments.
First off, that was mean handing them carbonated water at the beginning and not warning them! Second, this broke my heart and really put things into perspective. 150rs = 1.82usd... you tell me to go work a full day of hard labor for 1.82 and I'd tell you you're crazy! These sweet men have my heart! Each of them thanking their God for each blessing. ❤😊❤😊
I am thankful for the perspective these men bring to my life; their wisdom, humor, and love for learning help me see beauty in the storms of life. God’s blessings to them!
This was a really confronting video. Thanks for making us aware of the plight facing the Pakistani people, and indeed other tribal people that are not able to access water that we Westerners take for granted.
That title is very misleading. They all told that the govt. has installed water filtration plants in their areas. They are getting clean water now. This channel is getting desperate to get views now.
@@hafizsyednomanali6868 the other stated they were drinking sewer water with fresh. His area has better water now, but many areas are still affected. They live in the middle of now where since their village folk. I was assuming more of well or spring water for their fresh water. It still is bringing awareness about the region which is always a good thing.
I was so happy when they were given chilled, pure water after they tasted that nasty carbonated stuff. I felt like crying. I hope they all get to see safe, purified water in all their villages asap! Growing up in the UK, it was strange learning as a child that we couldn't drink tap water in France.

@@mikek5298 Yes, it should've. Saying they are drinking clean water for the first time is just a blatant lie, as they all told that they have clean water available cuz the govt has installed water filtration plants in their areas.
"I think they only charge for bottles and the water is filled from hand pumps." -Rana brother #2 Yes- a lot of bottled water is in fact urban tap water in the West, so one must be very aware what one is buying. There is one company that got in some trouble a few years back for advertising their bottled water as "natural spring water" when in fact it was merely Los Angeles municiple water. 😂 P.T. Barnum would approve... However, western bottled water has standards higher than that from hand pumps, although Nestle is one of the worst , most exploitive companies on the planet.

When I lived In Northern California there was a natural spring in the side of a mountain that people had put a copper pipe into so you could fill up bottles. It was THE BEST water ever, I'd drive 45mins every few months to get some. Having clean natural water is such a blessing. Having bottled clean water is the next best blessing.
Im from sweden, and everyone in sweden gets superfresh water straight from the tap.Clean water is concidered a human right here.. I feel the system has failed when hearing people saying they cant drink water from tap. Buying bottled water is so bad.. and not even having access to clean water is so bad…
Yes. Yet, so many areas of the world don't have access to clean water. Many have to drive or walk hours DAILY just to get water for their family. It's crazy to imagine doing that on top of working a job, but clean water is essential.
I've lived my whole life all over the US and have NEVER had clean water from the tap. In many places here, you have to buy a very expensive filtration system, or bottled water from the store.
@@myoldmanbaby tap water in the US, with notable exceptions for corrupt right wrong governments knowingly using caustic water in places like Flint, is nearly universally clean. Even cleaner than bottled water. It just doesn't always taste good.

@@Iampatrix There's a list of states with failed drinking water standards and the contaminants. In NYC it's usually excrement. New Mexico was uranium. The US has been rolling back drinking water standards incrementally for decades instead of cleaning up the problem. Legally it's "safe" but not really. If we had invested in upgrading public water purification systems instead of giving money to the mega rich, cities wouldn't have had to poison entire communities before addressing the issue and we wouldn't be paying Nestle and PepsiCo to purify water for us encased in plastic.

Fun fact: Bill Gates tried to fix the plumbing problem in 3rd world countries, he came up with a toilet that burns your poop. But it was too expensive to make for easy access.. in Sweden they cost around 4000$. Its only good for people with money.. sadly.. it Would have fixed the problem without plumbing.

I donate to drill wells in villages all over the world. This is life changing in so many ways. I watched a show where an upper middle class girl would go to live with a girl her age in a village. The teenager in Africa had to walk 10 miles daily to get water from a small watering hole where the animals also drink from. It looked terrible, plus, it has so many germs that people are often sick from the water. By the end of the week or two she was there she was very grateful for everything she had and the village got a well-drilled. Wouldn't that be great if we could do that for these villages?
I think they should have started with the still and ended with the sparkling as a special surprise.
@@spongemonkeysooz I would pay for the wells, just don't make me walk that 10 miles pls.
I love how despite all the differences in our culture, we all think bottled water is too expensive.
i've been in Turkey last summer and i think they have some law about drinking water availability or smth. EVERY store has fridge with bottled water of 2 local brands at such low prices that i was shocked. It was around 0.09 USD for 1.5 liter and 0.05 USD for 0.5 L. So anyone can afford it.
Prior to 2020 I could ger a 2 litre bottle of water 17p (£0.17) from Morrisons supermarket here in the UK. Since then it's crept up, 21p then 34p and now I think it's 38p.

Interesting that you used Nestle water. One of their executives stated that water is not a right, but a privilege and that people should pay for it. During the terrible Californian droughts, Nestle had bought the rights to water, and they took every damn drop to sell, leaving the locals with water restrictions. They are a terrible company who have done many things like that in the past.
So true Xymo. Although I been away for several years now, I believe Nestle has purchased the rights to the Zephyrhills springs in Florida.Very good water. The previous owners had a pipeline to a public space that allowed you to fill your own container and pay what you could afford. One can only wonder if that is still the case.
@@jeffreywells3884 I can guarantee if Nestle owns it, it is not. They were also the company that had big billboards in third world countries convincing poor women that their own milk was not enough for their babies, and that they had to buy Nestle formula, and mix it with their own local - often dirty - water to feed their babies. Infant mortality was sky-high because of that. They never had a conscience, and if they ever did a generous thing, you can guarantee there was a profit to be made from it.
@@jeffreywells3884 They did a similar thing in Ontario, Canada. Bought the land that a natural spring is on that people used to be able to get water for free from, banned civilians from the land, and now that spring water is sold worldwide. They’re horrible and the water is terrible anyway.

I can only imagine what you’ve seen! I didn’t fully appreciate clean, safe drinking water until I moved to another state where the municipal water supply had a foul odor & horrible taste. I’m not sure if it was deemed unsafe to drink, but I was unable to stomach it. Sadly, I was in an unfortunate financial situation, so purchasing bottled water was something I couldn’t always afford. The effects of chronic, long term dehydration are nothing to sniff at. Thankfully I’m back to my hometown where I never take a single drop for granted.

I'm an old man now, soon to turn 70...but I grew up in a very rural area of the U.S., and all of our water came from a deep ground well that ran through a large limestone passage (so those that dug the well said). I very much understand their comments on 'acid' or 'alkali', 'sweet' or 'sour' water. It's been over 50-years since I've tasted water, like I had as a child (and took for granted). Our water was so chilled, right from the ground...and tasted 'sweet', almost as if a pinch of sugar was in it. Even in traveling the world as a grown man, having drank 'direct glacier water'...I've never tasted another water that was so clean, so sweet, since my childhood...and still remember it for that.
I live in a more rural part of the us where I helped my cousins dig a well but we have an electric pump for the house that runs the filters and everything but it still comes out clear and the ground water is still good enough to drink raw
Where did you grow up?
My uncle had a farm he grew up on with a 280ft well that his family had been drinking from since he was a child. He also had a newer 90ft well. There was a definite difference in taste and we always used the deeper well for water we would drink or cook with. Even though it took longer to get water from because it had a hand pump and I was bad about forgetting to to refill the gallon jug to prime it with
In our country house here in Spain, we pump the water from a underground river which tastes quite strong, even if it's clear and drinkable.
Old man lol your a baby you got at least another 30 years to endure 😂

@@axlneztsosie3176 where ya from? Tribe wise? I'm Menominee and Stockbridge
I'm from Denmark and I cannot stand the taste of fizzy water.... it tastes wrong, or like you're drinking a soda without the soda flavorings in it.
I think, and this is just my personal take, that for me a lot of the reason I don't like 'sparkling water' is that my whole life I've been drinking sugared soda water (Coca Cola, Dr Pepper, etc.) and so when tasting non-sugared carbonated water, my taste misses the sugar and my brain reacts negatively. It almost tastes medicinal to me because of it. I have noticed though, certain fruity flavored sparkling water is a lot more tolerable, such as the Orange or Pineapple ones.
Their genuine reaction to bottled water actually almost made me cry. So many of us are more blessed than we ever take the time realize.

You don't have a right for things to just magically show up in your home. You have a right to go out and procure water when you need it but other people bringing it to you at their expense is not your right. You don't have a right to other people's labor.
@@EsotericOccultist Fair enough. But it's hardly an expensive process. The shelf price for bottled water should mirror the small effort that goes into making it. The bottle itself can't cost more than 2p. We have very large bottled water companies here and they're considered snake oil salesman.
There can be no right to anything that requires someone else to provide it. You have the right to speak, but not to require another to listen.
@@EsotericOccultist In the US, unless you have a private well, water that comes to you is paid for, either as part of your rent, part of your taxes, or to a private third party vendor. Unfortunately too many places we are paying for water that isn't clean or healthy. The most famous example of that is Flint, Michigan.
My sister and I lived in different locations in NY, had to pay for our water, yet could not drink it. The water where I was was alright for bathing, or cooking or laundry, not for drinking. My sister had to install a commercial grade filter (at her expense) just so the water could be used for laundry. It had to be further filtered separately to be able to drink it or cook with. We both paid our lical municipalities for the water. I think we have the right for that paid water to be potable.

Our first donation to an orphanage was $500 and after they received it the place sent us so many emails with pictures showing the kids eating well and getting medical care, for months. It was 50 kids and they could eat for months off this. We were so happy but also heartbroken to realize how much $500 could do for these kids when in most western countries children have toys (phones, tablets) that cost more than that. We still donate monthly to various organizations, having his mom or sister check the places to be sure they are legitimate. I still feel guilty every day.

Because most Americans don't leave their city much less their country. I have been to over a dozen countries and 40 states so far. When Americans talk about growing up or being poor, they really don't know what poor is.
You’re surprised?
What’s surprising is that you’re somehow surprised. How can you expect people to have a frame of reference for a life they’ve never witnessed or been exposed to? Or more so, never actually lived.
Sure, some of us try our best to remind ourselves just how bad it could be, but even then, we aren’t drinking sewage infested water, every single time. Your best effort doesn’t even come close to understanding their everyday. You’re merely trying your best, which is nice. But countless people don’t even have enough awareness or curiosity about these living conditions across the globe. And so they simply do not have many thoughts about them, certainly not enough to remember everyday just how good they have it.
This leads to people being surprised every time they’re confronted with this insight. The less you’re exposed to something, the less you think about it. Simple concept to grasp.
Being surprised by this doesn’t reflect your level of thinking that well
Because they see that they have a TH-cam channel and forget they are from (rural) Pakistan and what that means in terms of comparing economy, human rights, labour etc...
@@dankelly5150 Meagerly. There is a significant difference between the two words.
Because the usual depiction of the third world to the US is having it bad but still having the bare minimum to even qualify as part of the classification of "third world" because it's never usually these truly remote and detached peoples that get media attention, it's almost always the very poor but still generally functional areas of the world that get such attention because the media doesn't want to actually help, they want JUUUUUUUST enough hope to be there that they can siphon money for the causes they report on, otherwise if someone sees the reality of how poor some places are, truly, they are either going to ignore it because it seems hopeless or people might actually start demanding something more substantial be done.
Shows how much waste we produce in the West , all that energy and material for one bottle of water .
Always so humble .
Much love to these guys and families as usual .

Once again, humbled.
To hear this man talk of having to boil the germs out of their water for their children is indeed humbling. I am so grateful to have been privileged enough to live in a country where clean water is plentiful.
Us first world countries take a lot of things for granted. I’ve seen several videos with these gentlemen and I would gladly share a meal and learn from their experiences. I’m honored gentlemen to hear your thoughts. 🙏🏾
Don’t forget, the citizens in developed Western countries pay a significant portion of their income to the local and federal government to have safe water on tap along with many other resources we take for granted.
That’s true. I see people every day throw around the word privileged on the stupidest things. If you can go home and take a 💩 in a toilet full of clean water you are privileged. If you can walk in your home and flip a switch and have lights you are privileged.
That's because Americans have worked and built for their privilege
@@jayus2033 You haven't even been born when Americans worked for your priviledge so stop being proud of something you didn't achieve.
Guess it is not 'first world' buddy. That term is a bit naive. I am Kenyan but with clean water, electricity... pretty much everything the so called '1st world' has... and with a home and land to grow anything i need to eat from...
That’s not clean water, it’s sparkling. That’s abuse! lol
Exactly, they are always misinforming them....
They didn’t just give them sparkling water they wanted to give them different kinds of clean water.
Or the video would have been extremely short then
Ted Lasso agrees with you
As someone who didn't know sparkling water (only knew it by name from the internet) I DID feel abused when i bought an extra expensive water bottle only for it to taste like ducking gasoline istg- how do people drink this
I love the blessing they say before they drink.
The simple things we as Americans take for granted 😞 I actually felt bad watching their reactions to clean water! Praying for better conditions for people around the world 🙏🏻✌️

And to think I could literally just go to my sink, and fill up my cup with super clean water is making me realize how privileged I actually am
True we actually don't think that much about it ( Atleast me) But it is so weird that we waste extreme amount of water every day compared to people that can't even have clean water. For example in Sweden here we have clean water everywhere even toilet water is drinkable

In Norway everyone got clean tapwater, at my mothers house we got the cleanest and coldest mountain tapwater! Tastes amazing.
Where I live is hot to the point that if I put less than half a glass of ice and fill it with tap water, it will all be melted by the time the glass is full 😂 our tap water is "safe" but not pure well water, it's chemically treated. I prefer to use the ice and water from my fridge door because it's colder and it's filtered, still from the same tap but tastes much better.

Mountain and underground spring water are the best! I consider myself lucky to have tried them because most humans won't get to enjoy that gift of nature.

When I was in Guatemala they drinked from these bags or wells; only some areas had clean bottled water but it was super expensive at least for the locals.
I was just reading in the news about my home county in the UK having an outbreak of E. Coli in the tap water and thinking how outrageous that was, but seeing this has really put things into perspective. I'm really shocked that a single bottle of clean water costs a day's wages in Pakistan. I really hope they get clean water sorted out for their population asap - it really is an absolute essential.
it sounds like the govt is trying to make clean water available in their villages
They have more affordable bottled water available, as long as there's stores they can get to in the rural areas. These are so expensive in comparison because they're imported. It's not like in the states where imported goods are often cheaper due to how much lower labor wages are in comparison. Basically we pay them chump change to manufacture goods for us, which is why their wages are so low. Companies and entire countries get away with it by basically bribing their governments to keep them impoverished. Capitalism baby.
The first bottle was carbonated water which is more expensive than "regular" water. However having easy access to clean drinking water in third world countries is a huge concern. Many young girls don't get an education because they spend their days walking several miles more than once a day to carry back heavy containers of clean water.
@@synthiamcbride7194 Actually, not so clean water. Some of the water they collect makes them sick. Check out The Water Project to see folks who drill wells in villages.

It is so humbling to see these people drink clean water for the first time. I am so fortunate, and I need to remember this every day.

They’re so thankful and kind. So selfless yet so humble. I wish I had the money and I’d buy them huge things of water to take. 🥺 they deserve so much
Americans don't realize that someday we too will have to pay premium prices for our drinking water. Nestle has been working diligently for years behind the scenes to slowly buy up water sources in the US and other countries.
Three thumbs up for your commen! Thank you!
And Nestlé's bottled "mineral water" is just filtered tap water.
Dont worry, eventually when america's water is all contaminated by fracking and other methods, will send democracy to countrys with pure water...

I don't drink bottled water. We have a pur water filter on our kitchen faucet.
It's been a dream of mine to share these wonderful things to people who have never had access to these things. The creators of this channel are going to be very blessed and have many grateful souls to them in the after life
Get Britta to sponsor your channel, maybe they would give them Britta water pitchers, and filters.
PŪR water filters are best
Reverse osmosis is the gold standard, pur, britta is a joke.
Life straws would be good too!!
The Govt. has installed water filtration plants in their areas, as they all told. They are actually getting clean water now.
Zero Water Filter is better than Pur or Britta in my opinion.

Yes I am grateful for living where I live here in Sweden. I know that lots of cities got purified water that taste like chlorine. I have never tasted it because our water comes from straight from the ground and is really clean and ice cold. We even have like a eco park here where the water comes up straight in to the river like small tiny gaisers. You can drink straight from the source. There used to be a Viking ceremonial place there too once in the time. It is called Frostbrunnsdalen. The name Frost is just as it sound. But in the old days it was called Fröstbrunnsdalen before the Christians came and changed it. Frö is the Swedish name of the Norse god Frey. The god of fertility. People came there in the spring to place flowers and stuff and to drink the water.
