Field Activity Review
Vergnet pumps

Applied the “Awareness - Diagnosis – Repair” Training strategy



Run planned campaigns of diagnostics
Train village people to diagnostic cause of problems
Bring on-site spare parts and the service man when village is ready to pay for both
expenses
 Field procedures reviewed

Technical review ran locally
Outcome
- Strategy works
very well
- Model to be applied in all areas

CHAD – Awareness campaign: 2013 pilot
Two steps:
I. Training of 10 volunteers by specialized consultants.

problems related to drinking contaminated water

community mobilization and motivation

management structure required to maintain sustainable and independent
long-term access to potable water in their villages (COGPE)
II. 24 sessions in villages gathering a large amount of people, most of them in the
Logone Oriental
Main lessons: to get a very large part of the village community requires:
a) careful planning and timing
b) people properly trained, with the right personal skills
c) following a quite structure approach.

CHAD - 2013 Activity report
Field jobs: drastic increase of availability and the time
spent by our volunteers



41 active volunteers (out of a 70 people pool)
594 volunteers x day,
every day of the year an average of 2 IDO volunteers
went to the field (3 times more than in the previous
year).

CHAD
India pump study
Feasibility study : Proposal submitted to the CPGRP “Comité
des 5%” in March 2012
The context:
Design feature
 Rod and tubing concept - installation and repair process is difficult
 “Cheap” units: galvanic tubing - pump very sensitive to contamination
 « Expensive » units: stainless tubing – no contamination
Estimated life expectancy of « cheap » unit:
4 to 6 months
(mechanical failure or contaminated water)

CHAD
India study
Proposal submitted to the CPGRP “Comité des 5%”
 Objective
Define the best solution which could then be deployed to rehabilitate all the
wells of the Logone Oriental. This project concerns only the study part itself.
 Outcome
Report summarizing:
–
–
–
The findings of the analyses of the problems found on the India pumps
The tests on the ground and the ensuing results
A set of concrete recommendations directly usable by organizations seeking to repair the
pumps.
 Impact: about 300 wells - 150 000 people

CHAD
India study
Achieved in 2013
 Research of the best candidates to include in the study, i.e. wells equipped
with India pumps having mechanical problems and/or producing
contaminated water.
 Analysis of possible cause of the galvanic pumps contamination
 Search for proper handling equipment designed for pulling and running
3m joints. Decision was made to ask Schlumberger to build one in their
Kome base

CONGO: MAZA NA BOUALA - Main actions
•
Detailed inventory of all water access points and of the local water management
structures.
•
Very aggressive “SMPS” (awareness campaigns, set-up and control of the water
management structures) program including training of the village people and a
thorough control of their activities.
•
Training of a team of “artisans reparateurs “ who will then assist the villages for all
maintenance tasks on the wells.
•
Set-up of a centralized technical support team who will survey and control the water
access points in the field as well as supporting the “artisans reparateurs” and the
villages
•
Building of all the monitoring capabilities (data base, analysis tools) the management
team will use to measure the progress made and decide on corrective actions if
necessary.

2012 Financial review
• On a cash basis, IDO collected 110,213 € and spent 95,354 €,
resulting in a gain of 14,858 €
• We had net positive result of 26,982€, compared to a 23,000 budget figure

• In 2012 our Direct Expenses amounted 69,039 €, compared with 43,652€
in 2011. See details in annex IV.
• The main 58% increase of costs is due to:
– The start-up costs of the Logone Occidental operation which include: the
salary of the manager, the acquisition of a pickup truck, the installation of the
guest house, the purchase of field equipment (computer, GPS and a stock of
pumps spare parts)
– The completion of the inventory work in Congo and the related costs to the
work on the Maza Na Bouala project.

2013 Budget assumptions
• In terms of fund raising:
– Same amount collected from our donator base
– A 20 000 Euros donation from the St Joseph Catholic Church in Paris
– 5 000 Euros funds from the “Comité des 5%” for the India pump project
• In Chad:
– Our two teams will be operational for the whole year. The level of expenses call
for an increase of field visits.
– We plan to acquire two pickups. The first pickup is a donation from Schlumberger
Kome. The second will be a brand new pickup, an acquisition made possible by
the generous support of the American Catholic Church of Paris.
– The 5% project will happen. The related expenses cover the costs of the
equipment
• In Congo, we have only planned trips to coordinate with our partners
in the MAZA NA BOUALA Project.
