| Excerpt |

Can we create a database of potential investors (lenders), including a profile of each investor (inc. types of projects financed, investment criteria, board members)? Can we correspond with various professionals to aid in the development of our team? Can we effectively build a computerized accounting tool to be used by the community board to facilitate financial management and reporting? Can AguaClara be in a position by the end of this calendar year to formally approach possible investors to provide financing for a specific water project in Honduras?

- ZipBooks
-Uses cloud based accounting platform
-Could be an effective way to cut cost costs
-Drawbacks:
- System is cloud based
