Based on the assessed problem of supply water of Bati Bora and kelo,basically Save Generation Development Association has been under taking supply water project for Bati Bora and kelo with support of Rainbow for the future and community as well as government contribution. As the result 90 % of supply water project construction at Bati Bora has been finalized and the community started to drink pure water.However there is unfinished activities like due to fluctuation of cost, Communication gap due to death of Lio and Gabrayes. Though it was planned that extension of supply water for Bati kelo as the water discharge of Bati Bora is very high it is still under plan due to financial shortage.

2. Justification

The proposed intervention is determined to be priority because of it addresses the problem of the proposed project which is justifiable to solve the identified priority problems of the Bati Bora and and Kelo Kebele as its project area selection and planning are done with the full consultation, participation and support of the local level concerned government line offices, supporters and the community representatives through undertaking a rapid PRA processes. The proposed project is relevant to solve the identified problem because of its planning is in line with the government policy especially in the effort to eradicate WASH poverty, providing support to poor women, vulnerable children and elder lies. It is also relevant as it coincides with the intention of the specific supporter promises and in addressing the identified priority needs of the Bati Bora and Kelo Kebele area community groups. It is justifiable that the support promise is in line with the support and fund a comprehensive WASH+ continuum (water access, sanitation, hygiene + livelihoods) in order to support and enable sustainable and scalable access to safe water, improving the health, education, and livelihoods of the ultra poor. It is justifiable to improve the toll on children from unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation facilities. Where proved that, Countless others suffer from poor health, diminished productivity and missed opportunities for education. It is known that Women and girls are the water haulers where On average, women and girls in target walk 5 kilometers a day, carrying 25 liters of water, greatly reducing the time they have for other productive work or for girls to attend school that the project improve their time and productivity.

To improve school dropout where water borne illnesses keep children out of school; children aged 9-12 found that suffering from a water-borne disease were in classes only half as much as their uninfected peers and when schools lack toilets sanitation, girls will often not attend. Improving household drinking water can reduce diarrhea episodes by as much as 39 per cent; on average, improvements to household sanitation facilities can reduce sickness from diarrhea by almost a third. Almost half of the deaths from diarrhea each year could be prevented through an understanding of basic hygiene. Poor sanitation, water and hygiene have many other serious repercussions. Children – and particularly girls – are denied their right to education because their schools lack private and decent sanitation facilities. Women are forced to spend large parts of their day fetching water. Poor farmers and wage earners are less productive due to illness, health systems are overwhelmed. So that lastly but very importantly the project justifies that without WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene) sustainable development is impossible.

The generator which can generate electric power to AC4or more than 3hp or more power to pump water and one water treatment house construction, two main reservoirs containing a capacity of 30,000Ltr each for the two Kebeles will be planted.
