Differently ABLED|
Friends and Family of Rotary,
As we wrap up the first quarter of 2020, we get an extraordinary opportunity of celebrating life with over 23,000 differently abled children from various counties being supported by twenty six (26) clubs on March 14th at the ASK Jamhuri Show Ground Nairobi will you join us? Engage or donate at https://rotarysunshinerally.org
In the world of Rotary, in March we also narrow our focus on Water & Sanitation Clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education are basic necessities for a healthy environment and a productive life. In our world Clean water and sanitation is a human right. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, they lead healthier and more successful lives.
“We don’t just build wells and walk away. Rotary members integrate water, sanitation, and hygiene into education projects. When children learn about disease transmission and practice good hygiene, they miss less school. And they can take those lessons home to their families, expanding our impact.”
When people have access to clean water and sanitation, waterborne diseases decrease, children stay healthier and attend school more regularly, and mothers can spend less time carrying water and more time helping their families.
THE POWER OF CLEAN WATER
- Strengthens the ability of communities to develop, fund, and maintain sustainable water and sanitation systems.
- Provides equitable community access to safe water, improved sanitation, and hygiene.
- Supports programs that enhance communities’ awareness of the benefits of safe water, sanitation, and hygiene.
- Supports career-minded professionals’ studies related to water and sanitation.
- Creates tools and resources that facilitate, measure, and enhance high-quality water and sanitation projects worldwide.
What impact can one donation have?
Through water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs, Rotary’s people of action mobilize resources, form partnerships, and invest in infrastructure and training that yield long-term change.
