WASRAG – WATER & SANITATION ROTARY ACTION GROUP

Winning Opportunity! 'WinS' otherwise known as WASH in Schools

This is definitely an opportunity to Win! Get to know a partner Club in another country, leverage your $$s, and change the lives of young people, particularly girl students who could then continue their education.WASRAG is partnering with Rotary District 9140, Procter & Gamble, H2O for Life, and the implementing partner Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND) to improve access to water, toilets, hand washing, and menstrual hygiene management in 30 schools across the Niger Delta, Nigeria. The program is in three phases: the first 9 schools, the next 11, and the final 10.Rotary's top priority is the eradication of polio, but Rotarians Globally take on far greater responsibilities to fight disease. They set up health camps and training facilities in undeveloped countries and in communities struggling with HIV/AIDS and malaria. They also design and build the infrastructure for doctors, nurses, governments, and partners to reach the one in six people in the world who can't afford to pay for health care.Disease prevention and treatment takes on many forms, from supporting studies to helping immunize people to improving drinking water and the sanitation infrastructure. The world relies on Rotary to tackle these global challenges, and to set an example for others to follow.
