PepsiCorps - Ghana 2011, A Reflection
PepsiCorps - Ghana 2011, A Reflection
Many blogs were written during our 4 weeks in Denu, Ghana about the location and projects on which we worked, along with pieces about the culture, the people and places visited. Now that our project has come to close, it’s time to reflect a little on what was accomplished during our time and provide some context to the work completed.
-
Created a Quarterly Review Training program designed to allow the Water Boards to speak intelligently about the business and offer a forum to present proposals for positive change.
-
Spent countless hours of training and coaching two Water Boards on their presentations and the scheduling of a Quarterly Review for both boards in front of the District Executives and Key Members of the Communities.
-
Automated Financial Reports that will save time for the Boards and allow them to focus more on the Water System as opposed to hand calculating their income and expenses.
-
Created the first ever Water Hotline (Etsi Ne Do Line) that will allow Community Members to anonymously call to report system outages, needs, and potential mismanagement.
-
Instituted a water testing process to insure the communities had clean water. Unfortunately, we found one community had non-potable water quality with the results. The next steps and plan of action are left with the Ketu South Water & Sanitation Team to formulate a plan to address how best to treat the water and correct the issues. We will be monitoring their progress.
