Project Description Country: Myanmar Location: Araklan Total Budget: $3,500 Area of Focus: Water and sanitation Activity Type: Water: Supply/Access Summary: Project involves the development of a dry season water supply system in Rahkine, a rural part of Burma. in this area of Myanmar/Burma, there are distinct dry and wet seasons. Now, villagers have to walk a long way to get water during the dry season, requiring lots of time and effort. The project involves digging a capture pond for the water, transporting it by pipe to the village and accessing it by a hand pump, and constructing a fence around the pond to ensure safety and water purity. AER will be responsible for oversight of the funds and paying invoices. AER Rotarians will travel to Myanmar/Burma in December 2014 to view the site, to meet with suppliers, and to arrange for purchase of the necessary materials, equipment, etc. If necessary, Rotary clubs in nearby Thailand will help in paying bills that may be difficult to pay from Anchorage. There is now one Rotary club in Myanmar/Burma. AER Rotarians will attempt to connect with this club and determine if the club is able to help in any way. Since the club is brand new , we are uncertain as to what the club is capable of doing. Local contacts have provided a list of items on which the money will be spent: labor for the fencing and for digging the pond, American chain, link fence, entrance gate, stair, pole, hand pump, liner.

Much has been accomplished in terms of the administrative aspects of this grant, including an on site visit, coordination with the on-site project lead, and reporting back to AER on project status. However, the actual digging of the water pond has not yet begun -- but this was anticipated since seasonal rains preclude excavation work until the March-April period. As soon as substantial progress is made on excavation, we will update this website with this information. 2-Sep-15 System Entry Project has been implemented and final report uploaded. 2-Sep-15 System Entry Final report approved by the District Approval Committee.
