Clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education are basic necessities for a healthy environment and a productive life. 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. Through water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs, Rotarians mobilize resources, form partnerships, and invest in infrastructure and training that yield long-term change. Rotary has partnered with the US agency for International Development in Ghana, Madagascar, and Uganda to implement such programs. It has done the same in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, India, and Kenya. Since 2013, the Foundation has invested in more than 1,000 such programs in more than 100 countries.
2030 is the year Rotary hopes to finish providing everyone with safe water, sanitation, and hygiene. Your contribution to The Rotary Foundation enables this to happen. Thank you for your generosity.
