May 2022 
~ My husband and I took the leap and got our club started in WASH Projects in January of this year. Our club has been very supportive.

We have completed one Club 2 Club WASH Project at Amator Secondary Technical School in Osisiome LGA, Abia State, Nigeria. We partnered with RC of Eziama-Sunrise. The project was entitled "Construction & Equipping a 4 Room Modern Toilet Facility."

Our second Club 2 Club WASH Project is at Agbodekor Primary School in Attiava, Volta Region, Ghana. We partnered with RC of Accra-East. The project is entitled, "Toilet Project."This project is almost completed.

Our third WASH Project is a District Project at St. Josephs Girls College in Aba South LGA, Abia State, Nigeria. We partnered with RC of Eziama-Sunrise. The project is entitled "Provision of a new 6-room modern toilet facility." This project is almost completed.

We will soon begin our 3rd Club 2 Club WASH Project at Estate Primary School in Ogba, Lagos, Nigeria. We will be partnering with the RC of Onigbongbo. The project is entitled "Renovation of Toilet Facilities."

For at least 5 years I chaired the End Polio Now Campaign for the Rotary Club os Pleasanton. Then my husband and I went with Brad Howard to India to help with polio vaccinations. What an impact that trip had on us both! We knew we wanted to help schools get water, sanitation and learn the importance of hygiene. The following year we accompanied Brad to the West Africa Project Fair in Liberia, looking for a water & sanitation project for our club. We didn't find one there due to the Covid outbreak but we did attend the "virtual" West Africa Project Fair the following year and had positive results. My husband and I have committed ourselves to helping internationally Rotary Clubs with WASH Projects. WASH is the key to ending polio plus so many other childhood diseases.

The WASH Rotary Action Group is pleased to consider partnerships with any corporate supporter. Due to the unique attributes of water sources and water provision, acceptance of corporate support does not imply an endorsement of any particular water technology. Rotarians, Rotary Clubs, and Rotary partners must evaluate any technology to determine if it is the best solution for the conditions where the program will be implemented. The WASH Rotary Action Group can provide guidance about where different technologies work best, but Rotarians and Rotary clubs must make the final decision about how to implement their programs. Email us about your ongoing or finished project at info@wasrag.org.

This Rotary Action Group is RI-recognized and operates in accordance with Rotary International policy, but is not an agency of, or controlled by, Rotary International. To learn more please contact the WASH Rotary Action Group by email at infor@wasrag.org Thank you.
