"Clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education are basic necessities for a healthy environment and a productive life."
"Rotary clubs and partners built 222 toilets, six rainwater collectors, seven communal handwashing stations, and 20 bios and filters. The project provided more than 1,000 people with access to proper toilet facilities and almost 600 people with a regular supply of clean water."
