As we were walking towards this well, Juma informed me that this well was drilled to service the children in the community, in particular the students at WAMBA DEB Primary School. During the drought season, even people from town (to be distinguished from community members from nearby villages) come to this well to get water since water is very scarce in town and is rationed. After a few minutes of arriving at the well, a group of young children joined us. Though none of them were old enough to answer any of our questions, it was worthwhile just to see their joy in being able to pump clean water and to see them quenching their thirst. I could see that this well has no problems (Paul and Juma confirmed this) and that it requires very little force on the part of the children to pump the water up – from where I stood it looked like the kids were having fun pumping the hand pump up and down and were vying for their turn to pump.

Routine visit and witness selection of new committee:
- The committee was trained on procedures of operation and
how to maintain records of cash collected. They will be required to run a bank account where weekly collections are deposited.
- Worn rubber was fixed.
- Well ownership was discussed due to high competition between the school and communities living in the vicinity.
- The community was given full responsibility to manage the well because of constant breakages by the schoolchildren. -

How it Works
Every field note helps building a history of activity at the project site. Every visit should result in a field note, including visits by peers and 3rd parties. Visits can be before implementation, during implementation and during operational state.
If the field note is during the operating phase of the project, then PWX considers the note as a verification note. Verification can show if the current operating state is different from that in the 'final' report and thus draw attention and resources to resolve issues.
Soon PWX AnalytiX will track the number of projects verified and combine that with the amount of time elapsed since 'completion', to summarize monitoring efforts and the sustainability of projects.
