Take action to provide water and sanitation
Posted on March 6, 2019 by rotaryservice
By Rotary Service and Engagement
According to the United Nations, 2.1 billion people around the world still lack access
to safely managed drinking water services and 4.5 billion people lack safely managed
sanitation services. Unsafe hygiene practices are widespread, effecting people’s
health. More than 340,000 children under five die annually from diarrheal diseases
due to poor sanitation, poor hygiene, or unsafe drinking water – that is almost 1000
children per day.
Access to an improved drinking water source is most impactful when there is also
access to improved sanitation and commitment to good hygiene practices. Beyond
the immediate advantages of people being hydrated and healthier, access to water,
sanitation and hygiene has broader socio-economic impacts, particularly for women
and girls. *
Through water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs, Rotary’s people of action
mobilize resources, form partnerships, and invest in infrastructure and training
that yield long-term change. Below are some recent examples of Rotarians in
action:
The Rotaract Club of Melbourne City in Australia organizes an annual Clean Up
the Yarra event for Rotaractors, Rotarians, and community volunteers. This event
coincides with Clean Up Australia Day, a nation-wide initiative to inspire and empower
communities to clean up and conserve the environment. 45 passionate People
of Action stepped forward to clean a portion of the Yarra River. Volunteers were
organized into three teams to tackle separate areas of the shoreline and surrounding
green space.
Many students attend the Bang Klam Pottery Learning Center in Thailand, but
only have access to one very old restroom which sometimes doesn’t have a water
supply. The Rotary Club of Hatyai East, in partnership with their local Rotary
Community Corps, supported the center by building three restrooms and a water
tank. The funds from the project came from selling community pottery products.
The Rotary Clubs of Rabindra Sarobar and Sahanagar in India organized a fullday
awareness campaign to promote healthy sanitation and hygiene practices in
slums of South Kolkata. The awareness sessions were attended by 1000 people from
the community.
The Arusha region in Oldonyo Sambu, Tanzania has a population of 3,256 and is
the region most affected by fluorosis in Tanzania. The fluorine content of the drinking
water in Oldonyo Sambu is about 12 times more than the World Health Organization
(WHO) recommended level. This leads to skeletal fluorosis, a very debilitating
bone condition. In conjunction with the Nasio Trust, the Rotary Club of Abingdon
in England implemented a project where three water tanks, guttering and all
pipework were strategically installed at various locations within the Arusha
region, enabling families to share the supply of safe water.

Celebrate Rotary Water and Sanitation
Month!
A Hard Day's Night
It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight
Owww!
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah
It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright...

Clean water is a basic human right that many
are often denied. There are 2.5 billion people
in the world that lack access to improved sanitation
and 748 million people that don’t have
clean drinking water. Nearly 1400 children
die each day from diseases caused by lack of
sanitation and unsafe water. When people
have access to clean water, they live healthier
ITell-Everyone-Goal-6-640x670n 2015, the United Nations introduced their
new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty and promote prosperity
while protecting the environment and addressing climate change. Sustainable
Development Goal (SDG) 6 on water and sanitation encourages us to
address universal access to drinking water and sanitation along with improved
water management to protect ecosystems and build resiliency. *
Rotary members are committed to reaching the water and sanitation SDG
through projects like building wells, installing rainwater harvesting systems,
and teaching community members how to maintain new infrastructure.
During March, Rotary Water and Sanitation Month, we’re celebrating our commitment
to create healthier communities by supplying clean water and sanitation
facilities to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
