A Legacy of
Service
Since 1896
Hello ladies,
At our business meeting in March, our members donated a total of $300 to The Water Project. However, our donation was doubled today to $600 because of matching funds for World Water Day, a United Nations observance celebrated today, to spotlight the lack of access to clean water which impacts over 780 million people worldwide.
The project we donated to is a well and hand pump for a community of about 700 people in Kenya. Currently, they rely on seasonal rivers to fetch water to use for everything from cooking to bathing and drinking. The community members report frequent cases of waterborne diseases including dysentery, typhoid, ringworms, and other stomach complications.
Their new well and hand pump will be game-changer for the community, especially for the women and children who spend many hours fetching unsafe water from the rivers.
See our club's name listed above as a donor.
