More than 2 billion people around the globe lack clean, safe drinking water. Helping people
gain access to clean water and sanitation is a top priority for Rotary, which includes the issue
among its seven main causes.

With a US$57,000 global grant from The Rotary Foundation, members of the Rotaract clubs
of Kumasi and Obuasi in Ghana brought clean water and sanitation facilities to eight schools
in the Ashanti region. Their project installed around 80 microflush toilets and 10 urinals,
constructed changing rooms for girls, and drilled borehole wells at two schools. Ghanian
Rotary and Rotaract clubs and Rotaract clubs in Turkey and the U.S. supported the initiative.
It benefited more than 6,000 people.

Other recent Rotary projects in Mexico, Kenya, and the Dominican Republic highlight the
far-reaching impact of water accessibility.

A little Club History

Mooloolaba Rotary was chartered on 26 March 1973. The Club has been serving the
community for 53 years. The Club consists of long-serving members, relevantly new
members, honorary members, partners and friends, all of whom contribute to a friendly,
active and welcoming environment. Congratulations were received from Suren Poruri

Rotary clubs across the world execute service projects worth 2 billion dollars in their
communities and Rotarians give 25 million volunteer hours to their communities every year.
