AB  - This study was done to examine the contribution of small water 
  projects in the households towards poverty alleviation. The study used a cross-sectional 
  design and survey method to collect the data. Multistage sampling was used to 
  obtain the sample in which four wards were purposively selected. In each ward 
  one village was randomly selected in which 20 respondents were interviewed from 
  each village. Data analysis was done by using Statistical Package for Social 
  Science (SPSS) in which descriptive statistics along with Principle Component 
  Analysis (PCA) were used. The study identified irrigation, livestock, aquaculture, 
  food canteens, selling of water, ice-creams and juice, bricks making and local 
  brew production as the main households’ 
  water projects. The role of these projects included creation of employments 
  in which the majority of employees were women. The small projects generated 
  households’ income in which over 
  60% of the participants in the water projects had an income above poverty threshold.
