The Rotary Clubs of Johns-Creek North Fulton and Sandy Springs are seeking your help tobuild toilets and bring water facilities to five elementary schools in rural Nepal, and join us in making an immediate, profound impact in the lives of 300+ children and 100 families in need. We are seeking US Rotary Clubs to become supporting partners on this project. Contributions of $1000 or more will be matched by a private Rotarian donor in order to maximize your impact!
The Need
Poverty and lack of education makes children in rural Nepal
vulnerable to human trafficking, child labor and early marriage. Good education
is vital to their safety, well-being and future. In Spring 2021, Rotarians
Susan and Bruce Keenan learned of the dire situation of a community of 100+
families in rural Nepal. The families are indigenous and Dalit, and are
suffering from widespread poverty, including food and water insecurity. The
pandemic left families without jobs, food, and access to education for their
children. The 300 children in this community attend five elementary schools with
very poor conditions including no toilets and handwashing facilities, or
drinkable water.
The Project
Rotary clubs in the US and around the world are collaborating on a Global Grant in the WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) category. These critical improvements will create a sustainable change for 300 current students and countless future students:
Proposed US
Fundraising Plan
Our aim is to raise a minimum of $42,000 for water tanks,
sinks and faucets, and hygienic toilet facilities through individual club
donations, DDF, and TRF. Club cdonations submitted by September 15, 2023.
