Project Narrative

Background / The Need Information about current water situation, the demand, the sources, the geography, the need. Also information on earlier work done at the current site, by any organization and its current situation and impact.

El Porvenir has 16 years of experience in development of small rural community water and sanitation projects in Nicaragua.

Approach and Technology Details of approach and the planned solution. Experience with this approach and the plan for success. Information on the technologies to be used, and their applicability to the situation.

Improved hand rope pumps, modified traditional pit latrines.

Phases Project going to be done in one phase? Or staged/funded in separate phases?

These projects are staged in two phases, latrines first, then water.

Community Organization Description of how the community is organized around this project and existing sense of ownership. Or the plans to mobilize and organize the community and transfer ownership.

All communities are organised with an elected local committee that coordinates the work with El Porvenir. The projects were initially solicited by the community. Community is responsible for all tools loaned and materials delivered for the project, and is trained for long-term maintenance. Community owns water project site (legalization of site by attorney is a prerequisite to development.)

Government Interaction Relationships with, connections to, and interactions with government directions and programs.

Ancillary Activities Other activities associated with this project, not related to WASH, but included for greater impact.

El Porvenir has reforesters and community health/hygiene educators in each region who follow up after project construction to help provide long-term sustainability to the projects.

Other Issues To help more fully understand the problem and the solution, including cultural, religious, or government issues.

El Porvenir has worked for many years in three municipalites of Nicaragua, has a small local office in each, and local personnel. We are well known in these areas and communities readily find us to ask for financing for projects, and for follow up. These four projects are in two remote villages in the rural area of Camoapa.
