An important part of development work is empowering local people to maintain new infrastructure. To accomplish this, Amman Imman sets up a Water Resource Management Committee to assume the operation and maintenance of completed boreholes. Each WRMC is comprised of local people with a blend of men, women and ethnic groups. Amman Imman arranges training in borehole maintenance, hygiene and sanitation, in cooperation with the Ministry of Hydraulics. Note: The women members of the committee are missing in this photo.
