Progress update: MSABI (2014 CSV Prize runner-up)
MSABI is a not-for-profit organisation that runs one of the largest
rural water, sanitation and hygiene programmes in Tanzania.
Water points are established through a market-based approach
and installed by locally trained service providers. Selected for its
True Life Water Point programme, MSABI specialises in reaching
remote rural communities at the end of the delivery chain using
local transport, bicycles and motor bikes.
Using the prize money, MSABI has set up 12 water points,
which benefit 3656 people, and established 4 new
maintenance contracts to ensure a sustainable supply of water
for around 11 000 people. Importantly, 12 service providers
have been trained and the team is continuing to develop its
monitoring platform.
MSABI employees in sales, supply chain, human resources,
corporate affairs and finance have been able to engage with
the Equatorial African Region management team. This has
helped them acquire various skills, enabling them to become
even more effective in the performance of their daily tasks.
Progress update: Fundación Paraguaya de
Cooperación y Desarrollo (2012 CSV Prize winner)
In 2012, Nestlé awarded the CSV Prize to Fundación
Paraguaya, to support its vocational agricultural schools for
marginalised teenagers in rural Paraguay. The project ensures
students receive technical and business training on top of their
normal academic education. Schools are self-sufficient,
generating income through their own farming activities.
With the CSV Prize money, an additional school has been
established in San Pedro, and by mid-2015 student numbers
had increased to 85, with 24 graduates. Self-sufficiency has
increased from 18% to 48%. Our Nestlé employees from South
American markets attend the school as visiting teachers, and
discussions are taking place around the development of microfranchises
and the Poverty Stoplight programme.
The Creating Shared Value Prize is a great
opportunity for innovative organisations to achieve
international recognition and inject the necessary
resources to grow exciting social enterprises that
benefit society.”
