WATER AND SANITATION IN TIMOR LESTE

The Stirling, Mt. Barker and Murray Bridge clubs raised $22,000 which enabled them to win a Rotary District Global Grant of a further $42,000 to finance a water and sanitation project in Timor-Leste.

The project involved the rehabilitation and expansion of an existing water system in a mountain community south of Dili, the capital, and improving the water supply and sanitation facilities in three local schools. Members of the three sponsoring clubs have just returned from a monitoring visit to report that the project is well underway and on track.

Vocational Visit to SA Sawdust Sales

In its continuing program of club vocational visits and support to local businesses, members were hosted by Grant and Lea Andrew at their impressive premises.

There is, apparently, great demand for sawdust used by chicken farmers. When ready to be refreshed in a week or two, it is collected and becomes the major input for the production of pellets. Sawdust is also terrific for mulch and pathways.

Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5.

Most know it as poliovirus. The virus is spread person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can attack the nervous system, and in some instances, lead to paralysis. Although there is no cure, there is a safe and effective vaccine – one which Rotary and our partners use to immunize over 2.5 billion children worldwide.

Polio mainly affects children under 5 years old

There is no cure, but it is preventable with a vaccine

Only three countries remain endemic

We have reduced cases by 99.9% since 1988

Until polio is completely eradicated forever, every child is at risk!

How close are we?
