Maslow at work in Mwanza

Maslow's triangle, showing the route to self-actualisation. I want to put 'motorbike' somewhere.. thoughts?

Tanzania does not have much of a culture of prevention yet. This is what businesses are up against here,  the ‘if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it’ mindset. Trouble with that and motorcycle maintenance (or any kind of maintenance of course) is that to ignore a problem that is developing is to prepare yourself for a bigger problem and potential accident in the future. It’s this culture that meant that the eRanger ambulance motorcycles, donated by the Tanzanian government to hospitals around the country, stopped working after 1000 km. They were not maintained, the locals didn’t know how and they didn’t assign a priority to the task. That's how they ended up in Claire's workshop to be repaired.
