Auburn Rotary Club members recently raised $4,200 to support people impacted by devastating flooding in Nepal. The funds were combined with contributions raised by our partner Rotary club in Honolulu, Hawaii, increasing the impact of our shared response.
Together, these funds were provided to Water Hands Hope, an organization focused on creating sustainable solutions for people living in some of the world’s poorest and most remote communities.
Water Hands Hope works with local leaders and community partners to identify specific needs and develop solutions that communities can maintain over the long term. Its clean-water initiatives include water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure and education, including building rainwater catchment systems, toilets and hand-washing stations, distributing water filters, and providing community education on safe water and sanitation practices.
The organization emphasizes locally owned projects, working with community leaders and volunteers and continuing to monitor projects until they can become sustainable and self-supporting.
Auburn Rotary is proud to join our Rotary partners in Hawaii in helping provide practical, life-sustaining assistance to families and communities facing the aftermath of flooding in Nepal.
Serving Our Community. Supporting Our World.
