Charlie Speirs’ DG Partner’s Project 2018-19 is to raise money to install SkyHydrant Water Filtration systems in Third World Schools. The SkyHydrant is a proven sustainable method of removing all bacteria and dirt & produces 1000 litres of safe water an hour. Charlie’s target is $15,000 - this sum will allow the opportunity to raise a Global Grant from Rotary Foundation which would double the money available to installing Skyhydrants in schools. Let’s get behind this project and raise funds for this as EVERY child in the world deserves SAFE WATER!
Rotary Ideas, Rotary International’s crowdfunding platform, makes finding project resources easy. You can search by contribution type (volunteers, partnerships, online contributions, and materials) to find initiatives to support and resources for your own projects. You can also search by club, district, or country.
Until recently, only club leaders could post projects. With recent enhancements, though, district leaders can now do so as well. Download the guide to starting a project on Rotary Ideas or contact social@rotary.orgfor more information.
