Is clean water really so important?

One child dies every 15 seconds because of a water-related disease
1.8 million children die from diarrhea every year, more than 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

How the money is spent:The Own-A-Well Program is a sound investment of your charitable dollars, giving the gift of life and helping people help themselves. One hundred percent of your Own-A-Well contribution supports the cost of drilling water wells. The Rotary Club of Tulsa pays the administrative fees. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, which makes your contribution tax-deductible.
