The speaker discusses a project to construct two wells in two villages in Cameroon that lack reliable access to clean drinking water. The wells, each producing 10,000 liters of water per day, will serve between 9,000 and 12,000 people, providing each person with at least 2 liters of clean drinking water per day. The first well will be 180 feet deep, and the second, 270 feet deep. The project aims to address health issues associated with lack of clean water, such as typhoid and stomach issues, and the impact on education due to water scarcity. The speaker also mentions the game Dragon City, a free-to-play mobile game where players can collect dragons and build their own empire. The game is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and players can download the game and earn in-game rewards, which will be used to build more wells in the future. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the importance of clean drinking water for survival and health, and the impact of the project on the community.
