Generally the way these projects with USAID work is that whether there's a sanitation issue with the water or water scarcity in the communities we would be serving, there would be a list of where these places were, and we would work with USAID to ask what we need to put in there in terms of first cleaning the water. Second would be how many places we can get it to if we can't have it pumped or piped into every location in that community. Can we set up three different wells or pumps, if you like, people can come to until there is something there?
One aspect is physical infrastructure to get clean water and get it into people's hands. The other ones would be bigger projects maybe, in terms of the watershed or in terms of water harvesting. We use the expertise of USAID and their funding. We would jointly fund these.
The other area would be not just the watershed but rain harvesting. What are the ways to do that?
We do a lot of things ourselves, but we always seek expertise. They have a lot more expertise than we do about the best way to harvest rainwater in some of these areas and use it and treat it. I'm not a technical expert. I can certainly get a lot more information for you about how those partnerships work.
In terms of your last question, about how we work with USAID and the benefits of it, USAID is very good at what they do. They're very focused in those areas where they operate. We are not the experts, in that we are a business first and support the community second. They allow us to be more effective. We take their expertise on how we can do things properly in that town. They have a lot more of the resources to actually get it done. So it's a little bit more of marrying our objectives and funding them with money, and their people who know how to get things done. They have the engineers, or whatever it is, to deal with the water issues a particular town or village may have.
