IRS990/Desc0Activities in the water, sanitation, & hygiene sector:In 2016, BARKA monitored and evaluated the 5-village WASH project implemented in 2015. USAID WA WASH provided technical support for this process. The 2015 project benefited over 20,000 ultra-poor rural villagers in the Eastern and Center-East regions through 5 new wells, 9 new latrines in 5 schools and a robust hygiene education program for 5 village communities and schools. BARKA also monitored and evaluated the 2015 Social Art project funded by One Drop Foundation which effectively used theater to sensitize over 13,000 people on issues of good governance of water points, hygiene education and the importance of the role of women in water resource management.BARKA is developing a Social enterprise to produce and sell ceramic water filters;it gained entry into the SE Incubator of Institute of International Water and Environmental Engineering. Further assessment of rural and urban markets was accomplished and 50 filters were purchased from partner organization Pure Home Water in Ghana for subsequent market testing.BARKA raised funds and negotiated with well driller OCADES to make one final attempt to drill a positive well in the beleaguered village of Lampiadi. Three prior attempts had failed. Villagers routinely walk up to 7km to fetch water every day. In December, a positive well was achieved.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Other Activities in the Education sector:BARKA partnered with the village of Dandantiri to build an elementary school. This village received a series of trainings on social mobilization during BARKA'S 2015 WASH project which led them to undertake this project to improve the learning environment for their local school. This was BARKA'S first implementation in the domain of school construction and was prompted by the urging of the village community to accompany them in this endeavor. Villagers led the project, designed the school and constructed the new building. Villagers raised half the funds, BARKA raised the remaining half and oversaw all aspects. It was praised by the Regional Director of Education (local government ministry).Another Social Art project partnered with Lycee Communal de Fada focused on teaching photography to high school students; stories of life in Burkina expressed through photos were shared with students in the USA to facilitate cultural exchange and develop greater cultural competence.
