Members of the WACN-sponsored Hatia Cooperative successfully worked with the local utility company to introduce an innovative method to pay members’ electricity bill. The cooperative staff now collects and pays monthly electricity bills for all members, and if the bill is paid in advance of the due date, a discount is received and goes to the cooperatives. This not only saves member’s time and money, but also strengthens the collective.
Additionally, the Hatia cooperative formed a sub-committee to work for community protection from flood damage. With the support of WACN staff, the cooperative president established linkages with the Soil Erosion Department of the government, and conversations on protecting the village has begun.
