It is a general principle for us: if we don’t get a strong local contribution, it is because the program doesn't answer a priority for the populations. It is then necessary to find something else. When the populations cover a big part with the expenses, evidently the programs are less expensive a lot! Each looks after the fact that every coin is used to the best!The villagers are proud of the results, which is so important: "We did it!". The maintenance is thus guaranteed. For example: the bridges in the delta of the Mekong are financed at 75% by the villagers. When a household cannot pay its part, the neighbors help. |
