warning mechanisms

WaterAid thanks you for your submission, and more importantly, your humanitarian efforts to bring aid in the form of water and sanitation to the victims of Tungurahua volcano. Our comment concerns the risks associated with future volcanic activity. Given that you mention the possibility of future eruptions, what, if any, risk prevention/warning mechanisms systems will the project address or put into place?

Budget considerations

Again, thanks for your work.

In this proposal, I don't see a budget. Exactly what will this $50,000 cover?

Also, the project cost is $199,800. This $50K plus $50,300 from CARE and $50K locally does not cover it. Is there another co-funder?

Budget considerations

Blue Planet Run's message for the 2007 run is $25 gives water to one person for life. While we know its not always true, we are trying to target this year's and next year's funding towards that goal. We can revise it in 2009 based on new facts.

Even removing community contributions your project is $149,800 for 1,200 people. This comes to $125. We want to remain flexible and allow for some separation of sanitation costs to see how close we can come to $25 for drinking water. But this may be too far, if the numbers are correct. If there is a correction (in reply to Rob's question) we will need to recalculate.
