VOICED: Botswana's Bushmen thirst for old ways of life

The San Bushman of Botswana's Kalahari Desert, once hunter-gatherers, now face challenges due to water scarcity. An American charity aids them in digging boreholes, but past government actions forced them out of their land, leading to social issues like alcoholism and HIV. Despite winning the right to reopen wells, many Bushmen struggle to return due to health treatments and reliance on modern services. Technical challenges in water extraction persist, leaving the community in a state of 'great thirst.'
