HANWASH makes a splash in Melbourne

at the Rotary International Convention!

Our session, "Transformational Change- Building Haiti’s Future" attracted a great crowd. Many thanks to Dominque Basin, Fritz Pierre-Louis and Evenel Oslas for sharing their story with our Executive Director Ryan Rowe.

Many thanks for stopping by and seeing us

at our booth in the House of Friendship

and to all the HANWASH Warriors who

helped man the booth... Thank you, thank you!

The HANWASH Team held a dinner Monday, May 29th in Melbourne. It was a great night where many volunteers were recognized for their work. Thanks to our supporters who attended this dinner.

We are excited to share that we have signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) with District 5060, the Rotary Club of Cap-Haitien, Haiti and HANWASH, Inc.

Pictured is HANWASH Board Chair Cynde Covington, Executive Director Ryan Rowe and DGE Marjolein Lloyd of District 5060.

On Monday 29 May 2023, at the second annual HANWASH Social at the Rotary International Convention in Melbourne, Australia, Fritz G Pierre-Louis, Assistant Governor District 7020, received the honour of being appointed as the new Steering Committee Chair effective July 1st. Fritz has been a longstanding member of HANWASH, respected for his leadership as the Chair of the Haiti Liaison Subcommittee since the founding of HANWASH. This marks an important milestone in our efforts to support Haitian Rotarian leadership of HANWASH. This appointment supports HANWASH’s objective to elevate local voices and to inspire Haitian leadership in the country’s long-term development.

Congratulations Fritz!
