Project Title : Peer Water Exchange – SMS Reporting
Organisation : Peer Water Exchange
Country : INDIA
Website : http://peerwater.org

Peer Water Exchange is primarily a web based mapping and aggregation tool for water related projects. The PWX is designed to tackle the challenge of managing toilet delivery and operations to 600 million Indians and for verifying operations and impact. At present, PWX is prevalent in six states of India.

Peer Water Exchange’s (PWX) SmS Reporting is designed for monitoring and reporting on the implementation and post-implementation of water solutions by the people affected. Field personnel living and working in remote areas can send in SmS notes which are attached to the project reports transparently on the website.this simple mobile solution can bring critical data to the global community so everyone can learn how projects succeed or overcome challenges.

Field reports help managers and funders monitor, track and address issues applicable. these notes allow organizations to learn and share critical lessons since they replace bi-lateral communications with broadly visible storage and distribution channels. the natural extension of the SmS reporting process is to eventually equip beneficiaries to report on projects themselves.

The technology behind PWX SmS Reporting: Standard SmS technology at client side. SmS gateway: txtWeb (by intuit) and Android gateway. Server: PWX is written in Ruby-on-Rails and uses numerous plugins such as Google maps. Pricing is free for non-profit members serving their communities. if the projects generate revenue or the operator is not non-profit we charge a monthly fee per project. PWX projects provide safe drinking water and sanitation facilities. PWX manages projects globally and at present is working in six states of india.
