Monitoring and evaluation of safe drinkng water
By Mbeng Simon Nsah | The Director BFF
Better Family Foundation (BFF) is pleased with the complete execution of the first phase of safe drinking water for 1000 villagers in Muteff village of Cameroon. The completion of the water scheme does not mean the system is functioning properly.
Better Family Foundation in order to provide efficient and reliable services to its communities, has embarked on monitoring and evaluation of the scheme which was reallised during the last summer. To realise this goal, we have deplored BFF staff on the field to check on the effectiveness of the constructed water system, interview the community members on the impact of the system and the weakness of the system.
All the problems identified, comments and suggestions from the community members are given due attention. So far two sets of staff have been out on the field since the realization of the water scheme. The shortcomings of the first phase of the scheme will enable us to improve us to improve on the second phase,

By Mbeng Simon | Director
This is a project being carried out in Muteff in Fundong Subdivision
of Cameroon. This community has been used to drinking water from
springs,streams and rain. Realizing their desperate need, Better
Family Foundation decided to partner with Nourish International a US

drinking water to this community during this summer break.
The money received from global giving and Nourish International has
been put into effective use. So far a water catchment, a tank, 3km of
pipeline and 5 stand taps have been constructed. The Nourish students
and the Muteff community offered the unskilled labour force to enable
this project come to fruition.
This is only the first phase of the project and we are looking forward
for funds to carry out the second phase. We sincerely, appreciate all
those who contributed in one way or the other to make this project to
be realized and continue to plead to them to help spread the word to
others.
