Impact

谁采用了期望的行为，采取的程度如何? 解释一下你如何测量行为变化的。

Adopting Behavior : Community of women and trainees / volunteers who are members (Diapers Hunter Academy) . 

To measure behavior change : The results of the inventory and distribution of diaper waste generation in the Bengawan Solo River which will be updated every month.

项目是如何影响水污染的?请详细说明并包括相关的测量方法。

In our calculations at the Brantas River location, the program for placing a special diaper waste container (Droppo: Drop point diapers) is very efficient to reduce and affect water pollution. explained in our research with the existence of a special diaper waste container in the Brantas River (Another River) we have implemented. 1 Piece The special diaper waste container ( Droppo: Drop point diapers ) can hold 3,260 pieces of disposable diapers weighing 700 quintals.

In our opinion, this is an indicator of success for reducing disposable diaper waste in the Bengawan Solo River, which is utilized by fish farming fisheries (pond) downstream.

您的解决方案如何促进平等(包括种族、性别、民族、社会阶层/收入，或其他)?

可持续性:描述你的解决方案的经济可持续性。

The economic sustainability in this project is the formation of a women's group that will manage in making and selling or credit cloth diapers whose income can be used for investment and sustainability, and then used for community development or volunteers in carrying out diaper-free river actions and campaigns.

This project does not depend on grant funding, but adds to the government subsidy (environmental service) related to the transportation and pickup of special diaper containers to the Landfill.

投入产出:实施这些活动的成本是多少?与你上面的结果相比，你的结果如何 这投资吗?

To carry out this activity we cost USD 15.500 for the provision of 20 Pcs Dropo in 7 Districts / Cities, 20 Information Boards, 100 Cloth diapers and Training ( Diapers Hunter Academy ) in 7 Districts / Cities.
