District 7710 Mission: Our mission is to help needy people in the world have clean drinking water, because safe water helps to liberate people so they can live healthier, fuller, and more productive lives. At the same time we are going to raise awareness among Rotarians of the worldwide water crisis and improve Rotary's public image as a major player in the water and sanitation cause.
How Last Year's Proceeds were Used:
New Project - (5,000) for funding to provide a solar pumping system to bring fresh water from a high quality spring approximately 1.5 miles from Zorange. Zorange is a school located in the Village of Bigot, Haiti servicing kids from Pre-K thru 13. Zorange also serves over 5,000 community members per year as a public medical clinic. Currently Zorange gets its water from a rain water collection cistern and bucketed from a river approximately one (1) mile away.
