“Poverty is created scarcity”
Wahu Kaara, point 8 of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty, 58th
annual NGO Conference, United Nations,
This project has been worked
out with the users, who execute, run, maintain, pay for and own all the
structures. Five basic conditions have been accepted by the users. Without
them, this integrated self-financing development project could not be executed.
They
are:
1
Acceptation of Health Clubs. These do not only serve the purposes of offering
basic hygiene education courses. They also serve as a platform for women, so
that they can organise themselves and participate and play an important role in
the various structures foreseen. The health clubs therefore constitute a means
of addressing the so-called "gender problem".
2
Willingness to pay at least the equivalent in Kenyan Shillings of € 0,60 per month per person (the equivalent
in Kenyan shillings of € 6 per extended
family of 10) into a Cooperative Development Fund during the first four years
and pay at least the equivalent in Kenyan Shillings of € 0,75 per month per person (the equivalent
in Kenyan shillings of € 7,50 per
extended family of 10) into the Cooperative Development Fund for years 5-10 of
the first project period. This payment covers the entire package of basic
services foreseen including hygiene education, drinking water supply,
sanitation, waste removal, high efficiency stoves and fuel for them, and
lighting for study purposes.
3
Acceptance of the use of local exchange trading (LETS) systems, which enable
goods and services originating in the project area to be exchanged without the
need for formal money.
4
Acceptance of the use of GYPSUM COMPOSITES process which enables most of the
items required for local development to be made locally with 100% local value
added within the framework of the local LETS systems in local low cost labour
intensive production units.
5
Acceptance of dry composting toilet systems with the separation of urine and
faeces. Aspects relating to the form, the colour, the finish, privacy and
similar will all be discussed with and decided by the users. The dry toilet
systems foreseen enable waste to be recycled at household level so that
problems connected with the pollution of surface and ground water can be
addressed at local level without the need for major investments.
