Awareness Generation

How bad is the problem?

Creating awareness within the community starts with making people realise just how bad the water supply (and sanitation) situation actually is. This is surprisingly more difficult than it seems.

There are many ways to do this, and this is a long-term activity, that must go on throughout the project period, and especially during community mobilization.

But even if these are good messages to take to the community, there are several bottlenecks in practice.
