Worldwide, more than 748
million people live without access to clean water
and at least 3,000 children
die each day from diarrheal diseases
caused by unsafe water.
Rotary is working
to change that.
For example, members used a Rotary grant to drill more than 20
clean-water wells
and to repair another 30 in villages across Ghana.
The
project also included education about and treatment of Buruli ulcer,
a
debilitating infection that if untreated can lead to disability and death.
Nearly 70,000 people will benefit from this initiative.
