Sandra, Guy and Christine
Christine the treasurer of the committee. After I had asked Christine all sorts of questions on how the well was managed, she politely asked me who I was as she had not seen me here before. I apologized for my lack of manners in not introducing myself.
Ituri is exceptional in that 60% of the district has access to water sources. The challenges is to ensure the sources stay clean. UNICEF, Solidarités and the community have worked together to build clean water sources.
The committee manages the source. Each family pays 50 congolese francs a month. The charge is voted upon by the community and the committee. The charge is calculated so that no family is excluded. The funds raised are used to pay for maintenance and improve the site. In this case the funds paid for a kilo and a half of nails, whilst the committee organized wood and rattan to screen the source from animals.
So far 109 out of 130 families have paid. The remaining 21 families have recently returned and the committee has decided that they do not need to pay until they have harvested their first crop.
