Will you explain more clearly how 6,000 households will be impacted by this pilot project?

Upon completion of the three phases outlined, it is anticipated that the about 6000 households that make up Attarkar Community would have adopted the BSF in their homes. As part of our activities for the pilot project, the community would be exposed to the technology through our planned community mobilization processes. In this way, they will have an opportunity to witness first hand water testing which will bring to their awareness, the issue of water contamination and its attendant problems. This we believe will enhance the interest of the community members to adopt the BSF for their household uses. Further more the trained women will be supported to start up BSF micro ventures to meet the demands of the targetted 6000 households. Eventually we will provide micro finance and related business suppot assistance to this women.

Hi ladies

great to have you up and running on PWX! A few questions:

1) You said that you will train the women for a viable venture. Can you explain what that would be? If they turn it into a micro-business, will Empronet also offer Biz Development?

2) Will Empronet simply be the training agency? How much interaction, oversight and follow-up will Empronet engage in with the groups? How will you maintain quality control?

3) Can you breakdown the "admin and workshop costs"?

Also, if you have an excel spreadsheet, you can submit your budget in that form and upload it to PWX as an excel doc. If you have any difficulties, Annette can assist you.

Looking forward to reading your responses!

1. In response to your first question, the women will betrained and supoorted to start up a BSF micro-enterprise. EMPRONET and the Attarkar Women Association of Nigeria (AWAN) in collaboration with potential donors will work together towards providing micro finance and other business development assitance to support the start ups of the trained women.

2. EMPRONET will be directly and indirectly involved in every aspect of the Project in collaboration with AWAN which will be fully on ground to conduct monitoring and evaluation of the entire process.

3. We will work on submitting our budget using excel as you suggested.

Thank you so much Gemma. Every question is making us better at what we propose to do. Please, we welcome your suggestions and support.

Best Wishes,
Olanike and Anna
