Paramus Rotary Club’s Clean Water Project

Clean water is a basic need for human beings. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, they live healthier and more productive lives. However, at least 3,000 children die each day from diseases caused by unsafe water, which is what motivates our members to build wells, install rainwater harvesting systems, and teach community members how to maintain new infrastructure.

 

While very few people die of thirst, millions die from preventable waterborne diseases, providing the impetus for Rotarians to also improve sanitation facilities in undeveloped countries.

 

Thanks in great part to Paramus Rotary Club member Klas Haglid the Water Project in the Majee Kone Village, Delta Region of Myanmar is nearly complete.
