"In five counties, FH worked to build water kiosks, which are best understood as “water ATMs” managed by the community. Prior to filling up their jerrycans on their assigned day of the week, each member has a prepaid card that they must load with funds. When it’s their turn to collect water, the kiosks function just like an ATM. Scan your card to “withdraw” your water funds, and the water is automatically dispensed. Not a single drop is wasted, since the meter is pre-paid!"

Research like this one by Victor Dang Mvongo in shows the high level of handpump non-functionality worldwide. "This [...] is due to the low economic viability of water point management, the poor functionality of water point committees, and the poorly structured handpump maintenance chain."
