Activity 2

In july 2012, cws executive director, kate clopeck and cws westafrica regional director kathryn padgett, travelled to liberia, burkina faso, and togo to scout potential new sites for cws water business implementations. Out of these three countries, togo was identified as the location with the greatest potential for cws expansion. Ms. Padgett then spent august, september and october traveling throughout ghana to scout potential new sites in-country. The region surrounding the city of salaga was selected as the site for a new cws sub-office. In november and december, ms. Padgett and ms. Clopeck piloted a cws water business in the village of tunga, which is located in the region surrounding salaga. The pilot was a great success. Cws will host our first two teams of salaga fellows in the summer of 2013. These expansion activities were funded by an anonymous donor who contributed to cws through a donor advised fund at fidelity charity.

Activity 3

Monitoring and evaluation: when cws is not hosting fellows in ghana, our ghana staff is in charge of monitoring the cws water businesses. Each staff member (there are 4 total) are in charge of 10-14 villages. They visit between 2-4 villages each day. When in the village, staff members speak with the women entrepreneurs who run the water businesses and interview them about water sales. They check the water levels in the water treatment centers and visit between 6-10 houses in each community to checkto see if community members are storing water correctly in their homes. Once a month, the staff members take water samples from each village to test in the lab. They test for both e.coli and total coliform to ensure that the water sold at the cws business is safe to drink. Staff members report to cws ghana country director brianan kiernan, who is a full-time volunteer. Cws pays for all of ms. Kiernans travel expenses as well as a monthly stipend for meals. Ms. Kiernan reports to cws west africa regional director, kathryn padgett. Monitoring reports are published on the cws website at the end of every month. By the end of 2012, cws was monitoring42 water businesses in ghana.
