Currently 61% of Ugandans lack access to safe water and 75% do not have access to improved sanitation facilities. Tacoma North Rotary Club, along with Circle of Friends In Action (COFIA) and others have raised funds for two water wells in #Uganda that are now under construction. Phase one is projected to be completed within the next few weeks. The wells will serve children and families in an area where access to clean water is often miles from home. Thank you to our generous members and supporters who are making a difference! #rotary #makingadifference #worldwaterday #wwd2018
Water Well drilling in progress
Update May 30 - The wells bore holes are complete and producing plenty of clean water.
"No Straw" Initiative
Recently our Club members and guests learned more about the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium "No Straw" initiative. Plastic drinking straws are one of the major polluters degrading our waterways and oceans. Suzanne showed us ways we can help keep plastics out of our waterways and how conservation can be fun! Club members will be inviting Shenanigans to join the No Straw initiative by eliminating straws from our meetings. All are welcome at our weekly meetings. Stop on by Tuesdays at noon at Shenanigans. #rotary #rotary5020#makingadifference
