Is
clean water really so important?

armed conflict and terrorism combined • 2.6 billion people are without adequate sanitation
• 884 million people lack access to SAFE WATER

Its very name means “water,” yet
Nicaragua faces the Global Water Crisis...
The poorest Nicaraguan citizens and most remote barrios face life-threatening
danger every day they drink the dirty and often contaminated water
from their hand-dug wells. Facing harsh soil conditions and economic
obstacles, Nicaraguans need clean water. They need your help!
... enables Rotary clubs both large and small, corporations and individuals to
take part and have ownership in the Nicaragua Water Well Drilling Program, a viable and
vital international project started in 2002 by the Rotary Club of Tulsa, Oklahoma, District
6110. The mission is to drill water wells that provide clean water to the poorest communities
in Nicaragua. Major support has been through Rotary clubs and districts nationwide, the
Rotary Foundation, District 6110, and many other individuals and organizations.
We've had 200 SUCCESSFUL WELLS since 2002
 
Donors at the $1,000 level will receive:
A “thank you” letter acknowledging your donation
• A beautiful DVD of ongoing drilling projects with details on the communities
and inhabitants benefiting from the wells
• A certificate, suitable for framing, showing the well’s location by GPS coordinates
