What is the project ?
1. Engage with Schools with Water problem to –
• Help design and build RWH with storage and a pump for withdrawal
• A “Tata Swach” filter for the school
• Sample testing kits to test water being used (H2S strip test and Fluoride indicative test)
What is the project ?
2. RWH, Water and Sanitation education module
• Give / work with kids to generate material on School’s RWH and different parts
• Small Video show / book reading and mini workshop on water, sanitation and health
• Water testing – do and learn
• Invite the Asha worker, some key shg members etc for this workshop. What conversation does it create ? Will it help define / deepen intervention ?
What is the project ?
3. Monitor performance of RWH and storage over atleast a two-three year period –
• Is it used regularly, how ?
• What are the maintenance issues ?
• What happens when teachers change?
• Is water quality maintained ?
• Does the storage double up as mutli-purpose storage ?
• What conversations “go home” or elsewhere ?
