Rotary/USAID International H2O
Collaboration in Dominican Republic
The International H2O Collaboration in the Dominican Republic proposes providing water, sanitation and hygiene training to several bateyes and barrios in the eastern part of the country. USAID will fund and implement the water supply and sanitation provision, along with portions of the hygiene training, through Save the Children and Mujeres en Desarollo Dominicana (MUDE). Rotary will fund and implement the water quality portion through the installation of bio-sand filters, along with portions of the hygiene training. Rotary will also fund a portion of the sanitation infrastructure. This grant will directly benefit approximately 50,000 people and will indirectly benefit approximately 75,000 people. Details at:

Rotary/USAID International H2O
Collaboration in Ghana
The USAID mission and Rotarians have worked closely with the Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA), the branch of the government that works in rural communities to address water, sanitation, and hygiene needs, to select the communities and develop the projects. The communities were selected based on several factors, including need, readiness, and proximity to a Rotary Club. Within each community, projects will involve the provision of capacity building, borehole(s), mechanized water system(s), VIP latrines, water closets, rainwater collection vessel(s), and/or hygiene education. Sustainability will be addressed by establishing water and sanitation committees in each village. These committees will establish a fee structure and handle the operation and maintenance of the systems. Ongoing monitoring will be provided by the CWSA. This grant will directly benefit approximately 86,000 in 111 villages.
