Project Description

Region: South America

Country: Brazil

Location: Sao Jose do Rio Preto

Total Budget: $62,526

Areas of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment, Water, sanitation and hygiene, Community economic development


The project aims the acquisition and the installation of a solar water heating system to reduce the Hospita-Lar's electric power spending and its costs. This project will benefit 150 elderly patients with special needs who live in this place because of their bad health (part of them live in bed, in terminal stage) and they need hygienics care during the day, since their families can not afford to keep them with dignity. Usually, these patients take showers 2 or 3 times a day. Some of them have to do this in bed. We must emphasize that part of this hot water is used to cook breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks, dinner and evening snacks to all of these patients and about 150 professional volunteers that work there. The solar water heating system is a reliable option, since here we find the ideal operating conditions, with efficient technology. Also, it is an inexhaustible way to produce hot water with a clean energy source, with no further costs.

After the acquisition and the installation of these equipments, the benefiting community will maintain this project with funds raised from people who are involved with it. It should be emphasized that the majority of funding comes from donations of Sao Jose do Rio Preto's communities, through promotions conducted including with the help of entrepreneurs who contribute with cash every month.

The Rotary Club São José do Rio Preto - Novo Cinquentenário (SPONSOR), having also the CO-PARTNERS Clubs: Rotary Club - São José do Rio Preto, Rotary Club São José do Rio Preto - Alvorada, Rotary Club São José do Rio Preto - Centenário, Rotary Club São José do Rio Preto - Boa Vista, Rotary Club São José do Rio Preto - Jardins, Rotary Club São José do Rio Preto - Novas Gerações, Rotary Club São José do Rio Preto - Norte and Rotary Club São José do Rio Preto - Sul, will establish permanent contact with the international sponsors (International Rotary Clubs and Districts) during all the time this project will take to be implemented.
