Maintenance of water facilities and sanitation will be done by local women, who will be trained by the local women’s group from the “train-the-trainer” sessions. Introduction of a user fee for the services (Euro 0,02 per gallon) is being considered. In the next phase, a bicycle workshop will be set up and women trained to maintain the bikes. Hygiene education and transfer of experience will guarantee local knowledge dissemination and appropriate use. The facilities as a whole will make it possible for women to come to the centre, get a vocational education and acquire work. The gender bureau of the county will monitor the project and keep the connection with the district government.

In the beginning of May 2009, I have received the following message through VAM:
The chairperson of BKLVA has visited the project from November 2008 till January 2009. Meetings have been held with the women of different villages and the gender bureau of KajoKeji about the progress of the projects and the preparation of the training on water and sanitation. Support has also been given to the preparation of the construction of the Women Empowerment Centre, which will host the practical and vocational trainings.
