Finally to provide jobs, we will be offering
education to anyone who would like to
constantly monitor water supply in wells for
cleanliness
Step 5: Performance Reporting
Statistical data will be collected on

region regarding water sanitation

These reports will be given to
stakeholders
If deemed necessary a new plan
will be created
Sustainability
This will be sustained by the people around,
once they start to feel better they will be able to
tell that there is a difference in their health and
by providing local jobs it will also help people
locally.
