Step 1 - Create awareness & sensitizing

Starting a sand dam project in a catchment potentially suitable for implementation during the desk study begins with sensitizing the community’s awareness on the project, by undertaking regular visits to the project area and facilitating meetings with the representatives and members of community. All communication shall be carried out with respect to the existing institutions, rules and habits of the community. Information and mobilization of communities should be done in the dry seasons when water supplies are scarce and people are concerned about their water supplies.
