Executive Summary Access to potable water—both in terms of quality and quantity—is at a critically low level in northern Ethiopia. According to baseline data, the main sources of potable water for the majority of rural villagers in Tigray are unprotected rivers and springs and open hand dug wells.

** In total REST has over 700 members of staff.

Proposal for charity: water funding 1 Insufficient rainfall and long dry seasons have put these common sources of drinking water at risk of depletion, and in any case these sources of water are not potable. While the internationally recognized standard for clean water access is having access to at least 15 liters per person per day, the majority of rural families in Tigray survive on a strict ration of less than 5 liters per person per day, and female household members may spend many hours each day to walk to fetch water, plus waiting time at the water site that varies based on usage. Lack of access to safe drinking water for personal consumption and domestic hygiene is the cause of 80% of diseases in Tigray. Common health problems such as diarrhea, intestinal parasites, skin infections and dysentery are preventable with an improved water supply, environmental sanitation, and simple behavioral changes.

With this program, A Glimmer of Hope Foundation (AGOH) in partnership with charity: water and our Ethiopian NGO partner Relief Society of Tigray (REST), intends to address the critical shortage of clean water, as well as provide hygiene and sanitation training for an estimated 53,169 rural residents in districts in the central, eastern, southern, southeastern, and western zones of Tigray. The districts to be served include Adwa, Ahferom, Alaje, Degua Tembien, Endamekoni, Hintalo Wajirat, Kolla Tembien, Laelay Maichew, Tanqua Abergelle and Tahtay Maichew. The primary cluster points within these districts are Senale, Seglamen, and Adi Azoka villages, where 85% of the projects will be clustered, and the remaining 15% of the projects will be located in other needy areas of Tigray. This proposal represents Phase I of a proposed four-phase, $2.5 million program with charity: water in Tigray in 2011.

Phase I of the 2011 program proposes the following deliverables:  Construction of 61 hand dug wells, 37 shallow boreholes, 18 spring protection developments, 1 deep borehole, including 4 water distribution points, and 5 double block latrines o 4 shallow boreholes and 1 hand dug well will be constructed at schools o 3 double latrine blocks will be constructed at schools receiving charity: water funded water projects through this proposal o 2 double latrine blocks will be constructed at schools that have previously received charity: water funded water projects  Rehabilitation of 12 hand dug wells, 1 shallow borehole, and 6 spring protection developments  Formation and training of 115 Water and Sanitation Committees (WATSANs) for the newly constructed water projects, which will own and manage the water projects  Strengthening and re-training of 19 existing WATSANs for the rehabilitated water projects, which own and manage the water projects  Baseline survey and stool examination in 5 schools  Model Households: Hygiene training will be provided to 1,310 community members, and 1,310 hand washing facilities and soap containers will be provided. Model household participants from previous charity: water-funded programs with REST will share best practices with the new model household participants being trained, to pass on the skills and knowledge they have developed  School Program: 5 school hygiene and sanitation programs will be implemented, over 150 WATSAN School Members will be trained, and 10 hand washing stations will be provided at 5 schools  Comprehensive, cohesive program rollout and follow-up to ensure sustainability and ownership  An audit of 100% of charity: water’s 2010 projects will be performed over the course of the 2011 program implementation

Proposal for charity: water funding 2 Expected Outcomes for Phase I include:  Clean water coverage increased from 39% to 91% by suppling an estimated 53,169 residents of the target communities with access to clean water,  Daily water consumption increased in the target communities to at least 15 liters per person per day—the internationally recognized standard for water consumption,  Average maximum distance to nearest water point reduced to 1.5km and no more than 30 minutes, and  A reliable source of year-round water ensured for this drought-prone region. Organizational Background A Glimmer of Hope is an international development organization whose goal is to eradicate poverty in Ethiopia through integrated rural development projects. Founded in 2000, AGOH has implemented over 5,200 water, education, and health projects to date, benefitting an estimated 3.5 million Ethiopians. The vast majority of the projects constructed—over 4,300 projects—are water projects, which provide clean water for an estimated 1.7 million people. In 2009, AGOH’s Addis Ababa office of skilled, trained development professionals oversaw the implementation of 850 development projects, including 555 water projects across Ethiopia.

The Relief Society of Tigray, or REST, was established in 1978 to deliver relief, rehabilitation and development programs in Tigray. REST’s Water Resources Development Department was established in 1984 to deliver water projects to rural communities. The Water Resources Development Department currently has two high-powered rotary drilling rigs and two additional drilling rigs, over fifty hand dug well technical teams, and twelve spring protection development crews. In 2009, REST constructed 218 water projects in partnership with AGOH. Over the years, REST has received a large percentage of AGOH’s endowment and donor funds due to its capacity, transparency, and reliability. Funding & Awards Since its inception, AGOH has implemented over $35 million in integrated development projects in rural Ethiopia. AGOH’s donor base includes multi-year partnerships with the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, Whole Planet Foundation (the Whole Foods Market foundation), Theodore and Vada Stanley, The Welland Family, and charity: water. Over the years AGOH has received many awards recognizing its efforts. A significant recent award was Barron’s Magazine’s naming of AGOH in November 2009 to its 25 Best Giver’s List, recognizing AGOH in the sixth spot.

AGOH has received over $11 million in grants from global charities and foundations in the past 8 years, including over $4.7 million from charity: water, of which $3.45 million was granted in 2010 YTD, $1.27 million was granted in 2008, and $154,000 in 2007. In 2010 AGOH expects to receive grants totaling approximately $7 million. Area Overview Ethiopia is one of the 11 poorest countries on the planet, according to the latest United Nations Development Report. Landlocked in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia borders Eritrea to the north, Sudan to the west, Kenya to the south, Somalia to the east, and Djibouti to the northeast. With Ethiopia’s high illiteracy rate of almost 66%, the country’s economy revolves around agriculture, which in turn relies on rainfall that is inadequate, unpredictable and uneven in its distribution.

Proposal for charity: water funding 3 Ethiopia’s population is just over 85 million people, its average life expectancy is 53 years for men and 58 years for women, and the GNI per capita is $220.

Ethiopia averages 40% clean water coverage across the country, with higher rates of clean water clustered in cities and larger towns. In rural parts of the country, where AGOH focuses its efforts, just one in three people has access to clean water while only 13% have access to adequate sanitation services. At any given time it is estimated that half of the country’s population is suffering from an unnecessary water-related disease, and more than 250,000 children under the age of five die each year from diarrhea.

Tigray, the northernmost region of the country with a population of approximately 4,314,456, has less than 50% clean water coverage. While the availability varies greatly across the region, the majority of Tigrayans obtain their water from rivers, ponds, streams, and unprotected springs. They share these water sources with livestock and wild animals, which results in a dirty, tainted water supply. An estimated 85% of Tigrayans live in rural areas and depend on rain-fed subsistence farming for their livelihoods, which is difficult in this drought-prone region.

Currently, Ethiopia is in the midst of a serious economic crisis, as the global recession has decreased exports and reduced foreign exchange reserves. For a country that is largely unable to provide for itself already and is heavily dependent on foreign aid, which finances 60%-70% of its budget, the effects of the global economic downturn have been immensely painful. In January 2010, the Ethiopian government devalued the currency for the third time in 13 months. This policy has decreased the value of the currency by 33% over the same time period. Additionally, the inflation rate last June was 36.4%, largely driven by the rate of food inflation of 44.2%. The inflation rate over the past five years has exceeded 30%, pushing basic necessities like food painfully out of reach. Ethiopia is currently facing a food shortage estimated to affect 6 to 7 million people. Project Rationale charity: water’s 2010 program YTD has constructed or rehabilitated 697 water projects (combined Phases I-III with REST and Phase I-II with ORDA) for a total cost of $2.3 million, and Phase IV of charity: water’s 2010 program with REST, which will be funded soon, will construct and rehabilitate an additional 108 projects for a total cost of just over $641,000. All of these projects will have a profound impact on the availability of clean water for remote, rural Ethiopians. Combined, these interventions will provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene training for an estimated 314,809 people. charity: water’s 2011 program in Tigray will be implemented over the course of four phases and for a total cost of approximately $2.5 million. As in previous years, the 2011 program will provide comprehensive hygiene and sanitation training to educate people on the simple behavioral changes that will improve their health and overall wellbeing. Project Design and Implementation charity: water’s 2011 program with REST will be staggered to help ensure program oversight, scalability, and availability of funding. The construction schedule will be staged across three phases within each district so as to establish REST’s longer-term presence in the project areas.

AGOH’s approach to implementing water and sanitation projects is unique because it includes the benefitting communities in the process from site selection all the way through to operation and maintenance. In addition to helping identify the project sites, members of the communities

Proposal for charity: water funding 4 are included in the construction process, providing unskilled labor and locally available construction materials as well as any other support that may be required. While construction is taking place, WATSANs are selected and trained to take over the operation and maintenance of the project once it is completed. Creation of the WATSANs helps ensure sustainability and efficiency over the lifespan of the project. Community Mobilization REST’s strategy for sustainable water supply development is built on community participation— from site identification and planning to the long-term management and ownership of the water project. This model of inclusion, combined with comprehensive training, ensures communities are fully prepared to own their water project upon its completion.

Program implementation follows a “demand-responsive” approach whereby community members make an informed decision about whether or not to participate in a project, agree upfront to operations and maintenance fees, and determine as a community how services will be operated and maintained. To ensure proper management, REST believes that water projects should be affordable, appropriate, promote grassroots institutional development, involve women, be conveniently located, and integrated with hygiene and sanitation education as well as soil and water conservation to ensure optimal health and water conservation.

As the first step of implementation, REST’s water resource development experts determine the target areas for project construction. REST has a thorough institutional knowledge of areas in which water is scarce, and also works with local district water bureaus to identify specific communities with great need within the target areas. REST then meets with community leaders to gain consensus on the project and to discuss the community’s responsibilities and obligations for the water project construction. In addition, REST reviews aerial photos, topographical maps, and geological and hydrogeological studies to identify sites with solid water potential. Finally, prior to beginning construction, community leaders from each target community must provide a letter of confirmation that reiterates the roles and responsibilities of their community.

During construction, the local community carries out small tasks for free to reduce labor costs. Taken together, REST and each community’s total contribution of labor and time is valued at over 11% of the entire program cost, or nearly $100,000 in this Phase I of the 2011 program. This level of investment encourages community participation and ensures community ownership after the projects are complete.

WATSANs are also established, consisting of 3 male and 3 female community leaders, and are responsible for managing the water projects. WATSAN members must attend a five-day training course on hygiene and sanitation, hygienic behavior, use of water, and water project management. WATSANs play a critical role throughout the entire construction process, including:

 Initial site selection  Day to day construction supervision  Mobilizing the community to provide local materials and labor  Monitor and evaluate the water project throughout the construction process  Create water project by-laws, hours and rules of use, and collect usage fees  Open and manage a bank account to hold usage fees  Educate community on water use, hygiene and sanitation  Own water project upon completion

Proposal for charity: water funding 5 Additionally, two water caretakers are trained for each project to be responsible for the maintenance and physical care of the project. All community members who will use the water project are to contribute a monthly fee for their use. This fee (typically $0.10 per month per family) is deposited into a bank account to be used for maintenance, guard fees, and any other water project needs.

This comprehensive approach ensures that upon the handover of the project, the water project is owned and cared for by a trained community and the beneficiaries have the education, motivation, and empowerment to ensure its sustainability. Partners The Relief Society of Tigray is A Glimmer of Hope’s implementing partner for this program and its implementing partner for all AGOH-funded water projects in Tigray. REST and AGOH have had a successful and reliable partnership in rural development since 2002. AGOH makes frequent visits to Tigray for project evaluation, capacity building, project implementation oversight, mentoring, and feedback.

Collaboration with local and regional government offices, grassroots organizations, and participating communities is a primary guiding principle of REST’s development model. This participatory approach promotes the building and strengthening of partnerships between community, government, and external support agencies by establishing clear lines of responsibility and ownership and creating the opportunity for discussion and feedback among the stakeholders. Social and Environmental Impact REST operates in a drought-prone region and it manages short-, medium-, and long-term water resource development activities. Improving water conservation, management, and the construction of multi-year storage facilities form part of REST’s public works program. With the growing awareness of environmental issues in recent years, and in particular an awareness of the need to conserve water, REST and the regional government in Tigray have placed an increased emphasis on watershed management at water project sites. As a result, REST has designed each water project to include a water catchment, including a trench and percolation channel, which will facilitate ground water recharge. In general, REST works to ensure that water projects are managed and maintained so that appropriate quantities of water are available consistently throughout the year.

REST’s consultative, engaging, and consensus-building implementation model empowers participants at all levels of the decision-making process. Women and girls have the primary responsibility of walking long distances every day to perform the backbreaking chore of fetching water for their families. New water wells shorten their walking time, which allows women to help their husbands in the fields or engage in other economic activities and allows girls to attend school and have more time for their education. In addition, each WATSAN is comprised of three men and three women, so that women are included in the long-term management of the water project serving their community. This involvement gives them a greater sense of accomplishment and empowers them. Sustainability

Proposal for charity: water funding 6 Long-term sustainability of a water project’s hardware is ensured through a two-tiered responsibility system. Day-to-day responsibility for each water project falls onto its Water Caretakers and WATSAN. After a thorough training on the maintenance and minor repair of their water project, including hands-on physical repair training, Water Caretakers receive a toolkit of spare parts and tools to use for day-to-day maintenance. Simultaneously, the WATSAN collects monthly usage fees to use for repairs that exceed the scope of the Water Caretakers’ abilities. Should a larger problem arise, the WATSAN brings the problem to the local district water bureau, which is responsible for its resolution. The water bureau is a governmental agency that is responsible for water coverage in its district and can coordinate (and fund if necessary) larger repairs to the project.

So far, the process has proven successful: in 2009 REST undertook a comprehensive survey of AGOH’s 286 water projects constructed between 2002 and 2005, and found that 94% were still working. Of the projects that were not functioning, most failed because of diminished ground water availability. Six of these nonfunctioning water projects have been included in the 2010 program for rehabilitation. An additional 77 of the audited projects have received major repairs provided by their respective water bureaus, indicating that the communication process and lines of responsibility between the local WATSANs and water bureaus are working well.

The 2011 Program in Tigray will include the Hygiene and Sanitation components that were rolled out during the 2010 Program. The 2011 program includes:

 Conventional hygiene and sanitation training given to 10 farmer-households at each water project on the health impact of practicing sanitary and hygienic behavioral changes. These households are expected to disseminate the information to 5-10 nearby households. As part of this training, each household is trained on how to construct a traditional pit latrine at their homestead, and trained to teach the value of and construction techniques for these projects to an additional 5-10 households. The result is a grassroots, community-led training and outreach program that supports and integrates with the national WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene training) program.  Comprehensive educational program at schools. Schools are the ideal places to disseminate hygiene and sanitation training as students practice the behavior changes at school and bring new practices home. Phase I will consist of comprehensive Training of Teachers (TOT) for teachers and local district health staff, to train school hygiene and sanitation club members at each of the schools on water, hygiene, excreta-related diseases and transmission mechanisms, and prevention of contamination. These trained members will be expected to disseminate this information throughout the school. Schools will hold festivals to recognize and motivate students and will acknowledge students contributions with t-shirts, prizes and certificates of recognition. Hand-washing stations will also be constructed at each school and these schools will be expected to continue hygiene and sanitation activities to replicate the knowledge, practices and attitudes developed during the project period. Review meetings will be conducted regularly to assess progress, reinforce learning and support growing behavior changes.

Baseline data will be collected at the schools and model households prior to the intervention.

AGOH believes that a project must be sustainable in order to be considered “development”. REST’s sustainability practices, including WATSAN and hygiene and sanitation training, are a model in the industry. But AGOH also believes in the importance of tracking the status of each individual project to ensure our donor’s funds are being used with integrity. To do this, REST

Proposal for charity: water funding 7 will undertake a comprehensive audit of the status of all charity: water 2010 projects during Phase III of the 2011 program, so that AGOH and charity: water can track and understand the sustainability metrics for their growing base of projects. The purpose of this review is to ensure that any nonfunctional projects can be fixed and any gaps in training can be addressed. Further details on the audit will be available later in the 2011 program year.

Where possible, AGOH’s NGO partners try to use locally available materials for construction and material provision. Tigray has a cement-manufacturing factory within the region, providing a regional supply of cement. Other locally manufactured construction materials include pipe, gravel, stone, re-enforcement bar, and hand tools.

Hand dug wells and shallow boreholes use a hand pump called an Afridev hand pump, which was pioneered by the World Bank/UNDP in the 1970s. The significant benefit of using Afridev hand pumps is that they can be maintained at the village level. Manufactured in India and Pakistan, the Afridev is widely used because it is low cost, affordable and appropriate technology, easy to install and maintain, readily available, and efficient. Unfortunately, Afridev pumps are not manufactured in Africa because of the high cost of importing raw materials. Other imported construction materials used in the water project construction include diesel generators (for motorized pump water projects), dewatering pumps, submersible pumps, and explosives (to blast through rock when digging wells). Project Risks AGOH’s water projects consist of two components: the physical construction of the water project and the “software” training that ensures long-term sustainability. Both components are critical to the long-term success of our projects. REST has a strong record of constructing high quality water projects, supported through frequent site visits by AGOH’s Addis-based staff. In addition, it is only after the community and local district water bureau approve of the quality of the construction that ownership is handed over to the community.

A risk factor that could have an effect on this project is the price of cement. New construction is flourishing throughout Ethiopia, increasing the demand for construction materials faster than can be met. As a result, the price of cement more than doubled in a four-month period this year, and has tripled since 2008. The government has loosened import restrictions on construction materials to relieve the high prices, but demand still outstrips supply. The government has taken measures to reduce inflation and prevent shortages from occurring; however the risk of disruptions to supply fueled by growing demand still exist. Furthermore, the cost of fuel has been increasing in recent months, which has the potential to unexpectedly increase the cost to transport raw materials to the construction sites. These risks can be mitigated by providing REST with 50% of the project funds upfront so they can procure raw materials as close to the time of the proposal submission as possible. Moreover, REST has taken precautions to carefully assess the costs of materials in the budget, adjusting for expected inflation. Any cost overruns for materials will be covered by AGOH and REST, and will not be the responsibility of charity: water.

Another potential risk to the program is the persistent drought conditions in Ethiopia. The current water shortage is affecting the food supply, and water levels, springs, and streams are drying up. The financial, material and human cost of supplying water under these conditions can become very high, and some previously feasible water sites may need to change. Innovation

Proposal for charity: water funding 8 A Glimmer of Hope considers several elements of how it implements its charity: water programs to be innovative and unique:

1. REST’s enhanced Hygiene and Sanitation program through School Clubs and Model Households is an innovative and an exciting program for disseminating and modeling educational and behavioral changes.

2. Field studies have found a significant portion of water projects to be nonfunctioning in Africa. While the studies are typically old, and the historical construction practices that neglected sustainability are no longer in practice in Tigray, a perception of poorly planned development projects still exists. The opportunity to include the rehabilitation of nonfunctioning water projects into this program helps eradicate the existing problem and it allows AGOH and charity: water to be a part of the solution of fixing nonfunctional wells in Ethiopia.

3. A Glimmer of Hope’s 100% promise is unique in economic development programs and it ensures that 100% of project dollars go directly to our implementing partner. Implementation Timeline In general, A Glimmer of Hope maintains standard implementation timeframes of one year from the initial disbursement of funds. In the case of this program, REST will not be able to begin project construction until January 2011. AGOH and REST will still be aiming for completion by October 2011 (one year from the anticipated initial disbursement of funds), but the timeframe may need to be modified due to the delayed construction start. AGOH will notify charity: water of any change to the expected implementation timeframe at the earliest opportunity. The timeline included as Exhibit 1 to this proposal shows REST’s construction schedule. Learning, Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring and evaluation will be carried out during the program implementation period to ensure the program is completed within the allotted timeframe and to AGOH’s standards. While REST is to carry out its own monitoring and evaluation activities, including periodic progress reports on the program execution and implementation process and quarterly field visits to all project sites, AGOH’s Addis Ababa-based staff will also carry out regular monitoring and evaluation and field visits during the water project construction.

Reporting AGOH’s program implementation process requires accurate, transparent reports from all partners midway through the program implementation and upon completion. Reports to AGOH’s standard are required before AGOH will provide the partner with the next tranche of phased program funds. These reports must include not only a description of the physical status of each individual project and photos of each project, but also a financial reconciliation of the program funds used.

In 2008 charity: water requested robust project reporting of all AGOH projects. The reporting requirements were more comprehensive than AGOH had previously gathered, but AGOH valued the additional information and transparency required in charity: water’s reporting metrics and rolled these metrics out to every partner for every AGOH-implemented project in 2009. The result for AGOH, our partners, and our donors has been a better understanding of the

Proposal for charity: water funding 9 environment in which the projects are implemented, the impact of the projects, and the transparency and control provided through the enhanced metrics.

AGOH’s complete project reporting now requires the following metrics provided for every project (partial reporting is required for the status report midway through implementation):  Project Village Name  Beneficiary Population of Water Project  Project ID  Donor Name  GPS Coordinates  Region/District  Type of Water Project  Water Project Location  Sanitation Training Status (if applicable)  Latrine Project Status (if applicable)  WATSAN Training Status  Old Water Source  Previous Water Fetch time and New Water Fetch Time  Increase to Water Coverage of the Project Area  Multiple Photos of Every Project, Including Projects in Progress, Close-up of the Signage, GPS Coordinates with the Project in the Background, the Completed Water Project, and, if possible, Photos of the Previous Water Source  Narrative Impact Reports for 10% of the Projects  Financial Reconciliation for Completed Projects

Field Visits AGOH welcomes field visits by donors and is happy to coordinate field visits that meet each donor’s specific requirements. Exit Strategy Upon completion of a water project, a handing-over ceremony is held among REST, the local district water bureau and the community, where the ownership of the water project is officially handed over to the community. As explained above, the community, including its WATSAN and Water Caretakers, is responsible for the day-to-day operation, management and maintenance of the water project. The local district water bureau is responsible for any problems that may develop that are beyond the scope of the Water Caretakers. The monthly fees that the WATSAN collects for water usage are saved in a bank account and can be used to help pay for any larger repairs, but not having sufficient funds available will not disqualify a water scheme from repairs by the local district water bureau.

A Glimmer of Hope plans to continue working in Tigray and in other regions of Ethiopia until as close to 100% clean water coverage as is possible can be accomplished, depending on geography and other factors.
