In a way, every news story is like an iceberg. There is usually much more under the surface than what is visible. That is the nature of news, I guess, in that each story needs a focus; it can’t be a mini-Wikipedia.

So when I read interesting stories, I like to know more. And that is what I found when I looked further into Thomson-Reuters’ story about how a community in Kibera, just outside Nairobi in Kenya, is dispensing clean water to residents via vending machines.
