Rotary Information

Rotary and Rotaract clubs help people access clean water

Access to clean water and sanitation can determine whether a child gets an education. That's
what Rotaract club members in the Ashanti region of Ghana learned when they explored
ways to improve schools in their area.

The schools the club members visited faced water shortages and relied on contaminated
water, resulting in high levels of diarrhea, dysentery, and other illnesses. There were no
modern toilets, and girls didn't have private spaces for menstrual hygiene. The lack of water
affected every aspect of the students' lives. The wide-ranging impact of water access is
highlighted on the United Nations' World Water Day, observed on 22 March.

"Water bankruptcy is becoming a driver of fragility, displacement, and conflict," Tshilidzi
Marwala, undersecretary-general of the UN, said in January. "Managing [water] fairly -
ensuring that vulnerable communities are protected and that unavoidable losses are shared
equitably - is now central to maintaining peace, stability, and social cohesion," Marwala said.
