Give to Clean Water & Get Paul Harris Credit
“The only brown water anyone should have to drink is coffee!” ~ Marcy Pease
In Haiti one in five children under the age of 5 will die due to lack of access to clean water. A very preventable problem!
Haiti is working to address this issue by implementing a nationwide water infrastructure development project and the Rotary Foundation is being asked to help. Through a grant application to the Rotary Global Fund, at least four additional clean water wells will be installed in the Arcahaie/Cabaret region - an area where more than 86 percent of women give birth at home and 35 percent of babies die primarily due to diarrhea or fever.
We need your help! Fellow Rotarian, Annie Vander Werff is the Executive Director for the Community Health Initiative, Haiti (CHI), the organization called upon to lead the efforts in the identified service area of Arcahaie/Cabaret.
Will you help fill the gap?
- Total Project Cost: $98,000
- Total Match Request to Rotarians: $21,000
- Left to raise from Rotarians: $11,000
Your gift to clean water:
- Counts towards your Paul Harris; just earmark it for the CHI Water Project
- Is tax deductible
- Is matched 100 percent by our district and international so $1 quickly turns into $5!
