According to Haiti Innovation:
About 1.1 billion people still do not have access to safe drinking water, and two in every five people on the planet still have no access to a proper toilet. The international community has become increasingly aware of the disastrous consequences of the status quo for public health and economic growth. It will take more than awareness to change the current situation - it will also take political will, long term committment, and a new approach.
Water is a big focus for Rotary. It is a big focus of the entire world, especially for those who don't have enough clean water. What projects are you working on that are most effective at bringing safe water to those who need it?
