These methods are described in detail in sections 4.1-4.4. An essential part of the field methodology
was working with the women potters to try new techniques and designs and to think outside of the

observing potters at work and visually documenting the current production and manufacturing
processes. The dimensions of these four 20 L modified clay pots at Amilo were also measured. This
suggests that potters within locations generally shape pots in the same way. There were suppor Page

the surface of the vessel it is prone to be jostled, bumped or even used as a grip. Any vagueness was

cylindrical pot is because it uses less clay; however, the amount of clay was never formally
quantified, so whether or not this assumption is true is unknown. However, with the recent
completion of the National ICT Policy (2006), the Ministry of Education, in consultation with
stakeholders, developed a comprehensive National ICT Strategy for education and training, with a
view to guiding the implementation of information and communication technology (ICT) initiatives
in the education sector. In 1963, the British government ruled that the Northern Province of Kenya
was going to remain part of Kenya’s territory, according to the constitution. Low references the
Potter’s For Peace (PFP, 2001) web site, which encourages the use of a press mould for consistency
in pot size and shape. Overall the potter may spend two hours working on three pots over the course
of two days. Figure 7-6. Tap attachment in parallel at Oriang. (Source: Pihulic, 2005a) 85 Page 86.

variability in pot dimensions and volumes, reference ropes are not necessary for potters already
experienced in making modified clay pots. The list is shown below, click on them and begin your

attached to the metal tap since the current attachment process involves using cement to fill in the
extra space between 94 Page 95. Beneficiaries of micro-finance in the County will act as the

These include fragility of the structure, leakage around the metal tap, and a non-standard size as a
result of manual molding. Finally, the method of attaching the metal tap to the pot using cement is
such that it is difficult to replace the tap if it breaks. Institutions such as the Kenya Rural Enterprise
Program (K-REP). Figure 6-18. A potter using the 20 L modified clay pot reference rope at Amilo.

effectiveness of the focus group discussions. The current metal tap design was chosen as the datum,
or the idea to which all others were compared. The solidarity group model is based on based on
group peer pressure. A potter at Amilo was the first one to try using the 20 L modified clay pot

Observation The first day at each site was spent jointly with teammate Michael Pihulic observing

reference rope tool developed to help standardize the size of modified clay pots can be used to train
new potters but is not necessary for experienced potters. Chittagong University campus in the village
of Jobra, Bangladesh. The plastic tap was then attached to one of these 20 L modified clay pots,
filled with water, and observed for leakage (Figure 7-17). Discussions in a group setting were also
more time efficient than one-on-one interviews. 4.4.2 Format of discussions The author’s objectives
of the focus group discussions at each site included the following. Microfinance gives access to

heavy duty scissors was used to widen the holes by scraping away some of the fired clay around the
hole. She was asked to serve as the translator because of her fluency in both Luo and English, and
because she lives nearby and is acquainted with one of the woman potters. Unfortunately, the rubber
washer was unable to fit snugly to the pot wall because there was a slight lip (raised edge) around
the hole on the inside of the pot. To my family, Mommy, Daddy, SM, KL, and BN, thank you for

Similarly, African leaders should harmonize institutional structures that would essentially bring about
sustainability of development after their stay in power, rather than development occurring for the
sake of a particular individual at the helm of power. The population was limited to microfinance
institutions in Nairobi County. The metal tap leaks, and is very expensive, costing nearly the same
amount as all of the other materials combined. The modified clay pot (Figure 5-2b), a variation of the
traditional shape, has a more prominent base so that sediment can settle below the tap, a rounded
body, a narrow neck opening to a narrow mouth, and a lid, also made of clay. The approach and
vision outlined in this strategy will not be realized if vast numbers of schools continue to be
marginalized in terms of access to and use of ICT. In addition, the techniques for attaching the tap
also have not been perfected and often create leaks that reduce the effectiveness of the pots’ ability
to store water. The volumes were the following: 19 L, 19.3 L, 22 L, and 20 L. The average of these
volumes is 20.1 L with a standard deviation of 1.4 liters, giving a variability of 7%. Rafiki and

shrinkage that will occur during the approximately two-week drying period. 80 Page 81. Norton
(1974) notes that it is often desirable to convert linear shrinkage to volume shrinkage or vice versa.
Microfinance institutions, given the nature of their objective of ensuring that the prop are. Patterns
and trends across groups should only be detected after conducting multiple focus groups with similar

describes the current design and attachment process, characterizes the leakiness of this current
design, and discusses alternative designs. Users in the Nyanza Province of Kenya frequently carry
water from some distance or purchase vended water and traditionally store this water in their homes
in clay pots. Because one of the pots had a substantial crack around the tap, water leaked out at the
rate of about 150 ml per minute (9 liters per hour). One improvement that can be made in the
manufacture of the modified clay pot is to mold a flat area around the tap hole to create a better fit
with the tap. 7.5 Summary of results The current metal tap design requires substantial preparation
before attachment, and the tap attachment process itself is lengthy and tedious. Nothing substantial
has come out from the efforts of these commissions, despite the large amount of millions of Kenya
shillings channeled towards the operations of these commissions. If you cannot get the owner to help
you verify the account details, your account will be closed and you lose everything. Few studies
have been done in Kenya revolving around microfinance. Furthermore, the potters all said that the
shape of the pot does not matter so much as the cooling effect the clay has on the water and the taste
of the water from the pot. 45 Page 46. The banks are established and managed by credit and savings
associations. Easy entrance to the microfinance intermediary saves the time and money of the.
Recognizing the lack of adequate capital and a rural development program, the movement became a
means by which people could provide services for themselves. This detailed documentation of
ceramic water filter production was valuable for teammate Michael Pihulic’s M.Eng thesis (2005a),
which focused solely on the production and manufacture of the modified clay pot. However, with
the recent completion of the National ICT Policy (2006), the Ministry of Education, in consultation
with stakeholders, developed a comprehensive National ICT Strategy for education and training,
with a view to guiding the implementation of information and communication technology (ICT)
initiatives in the education sector. Krueger (1994): “(1) people, (2) assembled in a series of groups,
(3) possess certain characteristics, and (4) provide data (5) of a qualitative nature (6) in a focused
discussion.” Krueger (1994) further elaborates on each of these six features: (1) Focus groups are
typically composed of 6 to 10 people, but the size can range from as few as 4 to as many as 12.
While often used in market research or political analysis, focus groups can also simply be a small
group representative of a wider population and guided though open discussion for its members’
opinions about or emotional response to a specific area or subject.
