Question

Who maintains the pump after the project ends?

Every handover plan I have read says the community will. Every broken pump I have seen was handed over to a community.

The gap is usually money, not willingness. A committee with no fund cannot buy a part. What worked for us was a small monthly payment from each household, collected before anything broke.

Same finding. Paying in advance is easier to sustain than raising money in an emergency.

We budgeted training and no fund. That is the mistake.
