1. Supported Self-supply as a key to reach water, food and poverty SDGs
Proposition
To reach SDG 6 and SDG1 in rural areas, it is
more cost-effective to use water subsidies for
Family wells than for Communal wells

2. Subsaharan Africa How do we reach the last mile?
80% of the unserved live in rural
areas, often small communities
High cost/cap for communities
of <250 people ( $)
A solution?.. Supported Self-supply
Improve existing, make new dug / drilled wells
Possible with SMARTechs, $/well, 60m deep

3. Examples
family wells in Zimbabwe. Windlass
family wells in Bolivia. EMAS wells,pumps
fam. Ethiopia,Uganda, Baptist “Water clubs”
families,Nicaragua, Tanzania. Rope pumps
Family wells increase incomes $/yr (Nic. Tz.)
Advantage Family systems compared to Communal
Families invest, do maintenance, share water
Impr. family well = SDG6 + SDG2 (food) + SDG1 (poverty)

4. Suggestions Support family wells (recharge+pump+water filter)
Use “the family power”. (labour, material)
NGOs, Governments support 30$/cap. (For pump, filter, training).This is 30% of the total cost, family does rest
