Project finance
The original budget presented for donor indicated a total project cost of 176.057 RMB. Later investigation showed that this was unrealistic especially due to the 2 meter deep and 6 kilometers long ditch that needed to be dug. A new budget was prepared showing a total project cost 201.930 RMB.

At this time the local government had also announced their willingness to pay parts of the project and also cooperate closely during implementation.

Despite several complications, especially the villagers failing do deliver their part of the voluntary labor; we managed to stay within the cash budget by 5.6% The following table shows the final budget compared to final financial result:

Notes
Note #1
In the proposal I applied  83,057rmb=$11,185 for donor, but when the project started it is a little bit change because the government also gave 20% money for the project, so the donor just gave 75,000RMB.

Note #2
Before we planed villagers to dig the ditches, but Qurang villagers are nomads, they don’t know how to dig. And then I asked government to help, so we used digging machine and government paid 20,000RMB and we paid 52,000RMB.

Note #3
all the pipes that Gonghe County and Tanggemu Government bought for us, they paid 52,360RMB.So we spent our money to dig the ditches.

Note #4
We spent local contribution on the skilled workers, the project manager used the money left from digging ditches, and we bought more connections than we planned as needed.

Note #5
we build a big tank for save extra water, that paid 4500RMB for skilled works and local people paid sand for 3600RMB. Also we bought 5ton cement for build tank, it paid 2500RMB.

Note #6
We didn’t put the steels in the budget, so we spent 1500RMB to bought Steels for big tank.

Note#7
Because of villagers didn’t do anything for the project, the project manager asked village to pay 3600RMB for sand, except that money that everything paid by donor in the project, also government helped pipes and 20,000RMB for digging ditch.

Delays, Difficulties, and lessons learned
Delays
There is one reason for delaying the implementation date of the project. In the original project I didn’t apply for build a big tank. After finished the ditch works, villages asked me to build a big tank to store water inside because they all afraid that the water source will be freeze in the winter or there is no enough water for animals,  so we spent fifteen days to build the tank about 40ton(round one,6meters deep) Therefore the whole project took fifteen days longer than what I planned in the original project.

Difficulties
Before writing my proposal I visited Qurang village. First I met the village leader Niang tai jia, I told my idea to him and he didn’t believe in my ability because he told me that I can’t do anything in his village. At that time, I really wanted to give up the project because this is the first time that people don’t believe me. During the implementation, the most serious problem which I encountered was before my project started I asked villagers to dig the ditch, but it is a nomadic area and villagers don’t know how to use the shovel because they never used it before. Actually, digging ditch was local contribution in my original plan. So we hired digging machine to dig ditches, and we need more money. I talked to my donor and he asked me to visit the project site again find solution for that, so I told the problem to local government and asked them for help. The government leaders were very kind; they helped us to buy all the pipes and paid 20,000rbm for digging. Also one difficulty was that I am not from Qurang village, people treat me as an outsider. When I bought bricks and cement and transport it to the village, none of them helped me because they don’t want to listen to me. It made me very angry and disappointment. Another problem was that it was very hard to find workers work for the project. It was nomadic area, villagers don’t know how to use shovels and also the Chinese workers are afraid that Tibetan foods are not fit for them. So they don’t want to come to Tibetan area.

Lessons learned
Throughout the implementation of the project, I felt it is really hard to make someone believe in you first. You should do something to improve you, no matter how difficult or easy it is. One thing very important is never and ever give up on what you want to do. Also I learned one thing that you should have strong self-confidence before you do something. In local area people have different perspectives on men and women. Most people have negative stereotypes toward women and think that we are unable to do something important like men do. Actually, women can also do something important if you have confidence in order  to keep pursuing our goal. In Qurang village, some people’s opinions toward women have changed since I implemented the project.  People think that doing this project was a great improvement for every woman in the village. One important thing that I learned from the project is cooperation. Not only among the village people, whose teamwork was so important for the project, but also between the village, donor, government and I, whose cooperation and involvement has been determinant for the success of the project. For example, when donor gives me money and villagers don’t want to do the project, then everything will be crashed. In my project, the local government cooperated very well, because the leaders helped things what we need.

Interviews

Songnan said “I am twenty-seven years old, and I am a herdsman. We don’t have water so that we always drink dirty water from a hole; also we need to walk very long distances to get water for livestock whole year. Now we have water here. I am really happy we can use it for animals and people.”

Rangzhuo and Banguo—– Two village leaders and they said “people are very happy that they got water. Before there is no water around here so it benefits all people and animals from Qurang Village. We don’t need spend so much money and time to get water from now on, thanks to your great help.”

Zhejia said “I grow up here, I am never free in the winter because we don’t have water, but now it is really easy to get water, I just drive my hand tractor to water tap here. Also after the project, woman became a little bit free in my family. They don’t need carry water as they always have done. We are deeply
grateful for this help.”

 Letter of appreciation 

Translation of the Thanks Letter 

Dear The Shambala Connection,

We are all from Qurang Village, Tanggemu Township, Gonghe County. We did not have water here and have been suffering for decades. Last year, there was good chance when Sangyi Drolma visited our village and realized how difficult our situation was. Then she helps us to do the running water project, it spent one year to get funds for the project. Also our local government helped with pipes and also sent some water experts to help with the project. Our villagers are very happy and deeply thankful that we have water now, and our dream comes true. People no longer need to endure the hard works. All the people from our village say thanks to you. Hopefully all the nomads who are living here will have a much easier life after this.

Kind Regards!!!

All villagers from Qurang

Original Proposal

Project location
This project is located in Qurang Village (曲让), Tanggemu Township, Gonghe County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. Qurang Village is located on the west of Xining City and is about 82 kilometers away from Qiabuqia Township. It takes five hours by bus to get from Qurang Village to Xining; it is approximately 142 kilometers from Qiabuqia to Xining. Hence, the total distance between Qurang Village and Xining is 224 kilometers. Qurang Village is a small Village in Tanggemu Township. All the people in the Village are Amdo Tibetan.

Population
There are approximately 584 people in Qurang Village, of which 246 women, 183 men, and 155 children make up the Village population. There are 103 children who are attending school, of which 62 are boys and 41 are girls.Education
In this village between 60 %-70% of the school-aged children are currently receiving education, among them there are only 7 university students (6 boys and 1girl) There are14 middle school(10 boys and 4 girls) and 6 high school students(4 boys and 2 girls) 76 primary school students（29girls and47 boys） On average, for every two families currently only one child is sent to school, however still the poorest families cannot afford tuition at all. There is a primary school in the village; however the closest middle school and high school are at about 60 km away from the village. Students must stay at school and pay for tuition and food, which costs that most families cannot afford.

Recently, most primary school children are receiving education as the government provides all children of this age with free education. However, as the children get older and move to middle and high school many of them will withdraw from school. As the children get older and are able to help in the house, some families force them to take on house task such as herding or fetching water, in other words, they become a very important labor source for the family. Also, many families do not see the value of getting education, as the parents themselves have never been educated. They do not understand the importance of education in the live of their children.

For all these reasons, there are very few students who are attending college. In this village, only 7 are college students. It is also difficult for most nomadic families to pay the 6000 rmb fee for college tuition each year. However, even after students attend college, job placement is not guarantee. Currently, this is a major problem that college students face. In most cases they will wait to get government jobs for which anyone should pass an exam, but this could take them about three or four years and by that time most of them have forgotten many of the things they learned at school. Therefore, passing this exam and finding a good job becomes the pursuit of a dream. Until students can find a job that allows them to support themselves, they continue to depend on their parents, which make it difficult for the families. This situation discourages families to send their children to college, as there is no guarantee that they will have a job in the future. Instead they think it is better to keep children at home so they can help their family earn money by herding livestock or contributing to household chores.

At the same time, it is especially difficult for girls to continue their education. People in the Village tend to think that sending girls to school is useless, traditionally, girls when they get marry they leave out the house and they will no longer help their original families.

Cash Income
In Qurang Village, all the people are nomads. About 584 people live on animal husbandry, earning around 700-1200 rmb each year. In recent years, the villagers only earn around 500-700 rmb because the desertification caused very little grass for livestock. Also no enough water for livestock to drink, so that livestock become weaker and weaker. When people sold livestock to county town they only got 300rmb for a sheep. Consequently, living conditions are becoming worse. The only ways for villagers to earn money is from selling yaks, sheep, and wool. Before, each family usually owned more than 30 yaks, so from the yak’s milk they could produce butter and cheese to generate extra income. Now families lose a few livestock animals each year from due to lack of water. Some of poorest families have no income because all of their money is spent on food, clothes, and other essentials.The average family makes 1,000 rmb in cash income per year. However, the expenses of living can be around 2,000 rmb per year. If the family has a University student they need to borrow money from others or take out loans from the bank to afford their tuition. People who cannot pay back the government or banks lose their borrowing privileges and are no longer able to take out loans. So the villager’s lives become very difficult.

Herding
Qurang Village is a nomadic area, so every family raises livestock. Now the government has divided the big pasture area into pieces for each family. Each family has an average of three or four kinds of animals. For example, each family owns 186 sheep, 15 yaks, one horse, and one donkey. Each year they moved three times to different places to herd livestock. Family members are separated over these different places so that each person can do their own work. If it is raining day, the villagers collect rainwater in buckets so they can afford to let their animals drink. Sometimes people just used rainwater to drink too.

During rainy days, people must heard and walk in the rain all the day. Sometimes herdsmen walk about 6 kilometers away from the village to herd animals because there is not enough grass for livestock. Around the middle of July the herds move to the place called “autumn place.” They spend 40 days there before coming back to Qurang Village.

I am applying for running water system for their winter place where people settled most of time. Also they built house in winter place where the most old people and children are living there.

Agriculture
There is no agriculture in Qurang Village. It is not a suitable environment for staple crops and vegetables because of climate and land conditions.

Project goals
The overarching aim of this project is to improve the living condition, increase cash income, improve education and reduce women’s task in Qurang village
The immediate goal of this project is to build a running water system for 146 households in Qurang Village, in Gonghe County.

Problems
No water system in Qurang Village Until 1995, Qurang Village had one small fountainhead that barely provided enough water for the people. Sometimes women had to get up at three o’clock to wait for water one by one in winter time. Sometimes the weather was so cold that water would freeze and there would be no other water resources until spring (March). Access to water for livestock was a big problem that villagers had to walk about 10 kilometers away to beg for water from nearby villages. Villagers often spent up two days just trying to provide water for livestock.

Increased women’s labor In the village, women have to do most chores in the family. At sunrise, they walk l0 kilometer to fetch water and when they come back they do all the housework and cook food for family members. The winter is especially difficult, because people have to wake up at 3:00 am and wait in line to get water. The women maintain a small fire in order to prevent the water resource from freezing. During the summer, women are so busy to move place to another area and men go outside to get water. So women should move place to carry stuff by themselves. It takes almost one week to transport everything they need, sometimes except moving things get water also women’s task so in the Village everybody described that women just worked as a donkey.

Low income and high price of water Usually men can’t leave the village to earn money because they must stay at home to help women get water for livestock and family members. In the village, people believe that getting water is the most important task because if there is no water, livestock can’t survive and without livestock the people cannot make a living. Getting water is especially difficult in the winter because all the families in Qurang Village have to go 10 kilometer away to get water by hand tractor. They spend an average of 1000 rmb, which is equivalent to their yearly income, to buy gas for the tractor. Also only men can drive hand tractors to get water, leaving women to do all the work in the household after that their life is so difficult that they borrow money from banks or from relatives to survive. If families have college students they will borrow money from a bank pay high interests and after the student graduates from school they should earn money and pay back to the bank.

Health problems Fetching water is a difficult task. In Qurang Village, sometimes women must get up three or four o’clock to carry water during the winter. During the summer when people cannot predict when it will rain, this task is especially dangerous, as a sudden storm may appear when people are fetching water, making the ground slippery and the river rough. Many Villagers have suffered broken bones from falling on the steep mountain road while fetching water. Also people’s hands touch in the water when they fetch water in bucket use scoop without wear plastic gloves and also water will pour on their body it is easy to get cold. When women get older some of them can’t walk due to back problems from fetching water and wash clothes in the water. Some people end up with a kind of disease called rheumatism. Many women and girls also suffer from hunched backs and backaches from fetching water in water barrels on their backs

Benefits
If we build a running water system it will benefit 146 households and all of the livestock in Qurang Village, so many problems will be solved:

· Everyone will drink clean and reliable water that will improve his or her health. People will wash their clothes and faces everyday, ensuring that diseases spread less quickly among people.

· People don’t need to go far distances to get water because they will only have to walk about 150 meters to get water. Also they can have more free time to do other work and earn extra income to improve their living conditions.

· With this added time, more girls will be able to have time to attend school, do schoolwork and get education.

· Women will have more free time to participate village’s activities. Before they were just busy carrying water and taking care of children so that only men enjoyed outside activities.

· Villagers will be able to save 1,000 rmb. They won’t need to buy gas for tractors to carry water, so people will be able to afford tuition and send their children to school. Also students won’t need to spend their time at home fetching water; they can read more books and study harder to improve their education. So more and more students will be able to go to good university.

Beneficiaries
This running water project will benefit approximately 960 people and all the livestock, including the people in Qurang Village and nearby village called Yingde’er. Because Yingde’er Villagers also get drinking water from the dirty river, when this project is funded they will also be able to use the new water source. As all the difficulties discussed above, men and women currently fetch most of the water for the village. A running water system that carries clean water to the village will relieve men and women of a time consuming chore. As a result of this project, all the people may use their freed up time to acquire more highly valued skills and learn new things. In particular, children can use the time saved on more productive activities such as studying and training for other skilled jobs without being over burdened. Women can use the time to relax or work on other household activities.

Gender equality
If this project is accomplished it will mostly benefit women, but it will also benefit men too. Because in Qurang Village women’s position is lower than men, women do most difficult work such as carry water and take care of children and old parents. Also everybody thinks men are more capable than women Moreover, their involvement in this project can be a first step for women’s greater involvement in Village affairs and it will raise women’s position in the village. All the people will understand women also can do things the same as men. This project will train women to be more active because without carrying water they can have free time to participate Village activities to show their abilities. Also it is a good chance for women to gain experiences to do things that can improve women’s ability too. This project will encourage many more and more children will get education in school without help family to carrying water. Also once there is a water system in that community it is certain that many girls will spend far less time collecting water and many girls will have the time to be able to attend school and gain an education, allowing them to gain the skills to do their own projects in the future.

Government approval
The local government agreed with the villagers to build a water system three years ago, but they have no money to support the village. If this project is funded, the government leader Niangba said they completely support it and they really hope this project can happen as soon as possible.

Sustainability
The Villagers will be responsible for taking care of the water system. Village leader Rang Zhuo will remain as the sustainable leader for this project because he had experiences about this project. Every villager will be involved in repairing any damages in a timely manner. They will ask skilled workers to repair extensive damages. Another way is Villagers are responsible for the water spring, and also the materials are purchased from the good company, which is high quality. We can ask other Villagers that they have more experiences to usually purchase materials from the company from Gansu Province and later we can ask them to change it if the materials have problems.

This is the water resource; it is located under a small hill and sometimes covered by sand because it is located on a deserted place. This water resource was rebuilt on July 2007. It is not Very clean, but this is the only resource that Qurang Villagers and livestock have to survive. During the afternoon the water resource became Very dry.

Cai Tai Jia is thirty-two years old, he is a herdsmen. He spent more than three hours to get water from the dig hole to feed the livestock. He needs to take more than 35 buckets to feed the 320 sheep.

Drol ma jia is thirty-seven years old; she is the sister-in-law. Everyday she should walk about 10 kilometers to fetch water. Most of her time is spent on getting water for her family. In the same way all the Village women are responsible for doing this job. After finishing this task, women still need to do all the housework.

Everyday the family brings the animals to the water resource. They have to walk for two hours in order to get there. It is Very difficult for the animals to drink directly from the dig hole; therefore, as shown in the picture, water has to be placed on container to feed the animals. Also this is the closest water resource available for them.

De Ge ji helped her husband to fetch water for livestock; most of her time is just spent to get water for livestock and her family, which lives 9 kilometer away from the water resource.
