What they are building

A paper logbook template (with pictorial instructions for low-literacy users) distributed to 10 households in a Kabul neighborhood. A local volunteer coordinates weekly collection and aggregation for one month. No personal identifiers are recorded. Results are summarized in a one-page report for local review.

Why it matters

Hypothesis: A simple, community-driven log increases the visibility of local water challenges in climate discussions compared to no documentation or top-down surveys. Test if the log yields actionable, locally relevant data. Proposed validation: Proposed pilot target: At least 70% of participating households complete the log for 4 weeks. Baseline: No systematic local water collection data. Success measured by number of completed logs and usefulness of summary report, reviewed by local leaders after 1 month.
