Water for People

Our District Water & Sanitation is focused on clean water, sanitation, and health. Nearly 850 million people have no access to clean drinking water and close to 2 billion have no access to sanitation services. The reality is that a child dies every 20 seconds from drinking contaminated water. Estimates reveal that nearly 80% of disease globally is attributable to an unsafe water supply and a lack of sanitation and hygiene, affecting mainly children in the developing world. The District Water & Sanitation supports the Millenium Goal of providing safe water to 50% of those without access by 2015. District 6780 as well as many of our Rotary Clubs are currently participating in water projects in Tennessee and throughout the world.
