Summary
An entirely female driven project to provide safe drinking water to the villages of Damalwadi (Ahmednagar district) ,Wazar (Sangli district) and Dhanora & Bhojewadi (Beed District). Attention will be given throughout to manage and maintain post project.
Background
This project will be implemented by the apex body - the Samyukt Mahila Samiti (SMS) - of the women’s SHGs. They have prioritised this as their most important need. Each village will design the project requirements according to the situation. A local contribution will be obtained (10% of project cost) from every household. This will be either in the form of labour or in the form of cash – as the village decides. The local contribution is to ensure the ownership of the project by the people. WOTR staff will support the villagers, especially the SMS to implement and manage the project. They will be given the required capacity building especially in the management of the accounts and for the post project management, including the provision of safe drinking water. The supervision of the construction work will be done by a qualified person. For the post project management, a maintenance fund will be set up. A regular water tax will be collected from every household.

Community Organization:
From the beginning the women’s groups (the SMS) will be responsible for the implementation and management of the project. Local contribution (10% of total cost) will be collected from the households. They will set up a maintenance fund so see to its maintenance in the post project period. A water tax will also be regularly collected from each household and the SMS will be responsible for the same. To help the SMS manage their project, they will be given the required capacity building trainings by WOTR’s team. With this we expect that this initiative will be sustained.
