Last week we had a joint meeting with the Rotary Club of Greater Dandenong and Endeavour Hills.
Our guest speaker was Brian Ashworth who had been involved with Disaster Aid Australia for many many years.
His presentation focused on safe water for every child.
If a village has safe water it impacts the following 7 key areas:
Water, sanitation and hygiene
Disease Prevention and treatment
Maternal and child health
Basic education and literacy
Community Economic Development
Environment
Peace building and conflict prevention
It is amazing how clean water can impact a family, village, town and country.
Disaster Aid Australia is achieving great outcomes and every Rotary club should get involved to ensure that every family and child has clean water where this is not available.
Our club contributed $500 which will fund a water filter for a village fir 12months and has agreed to work together for a much greater project that will deliver clean water to other areas where needed.
