The Rotary Clubs of Calgary Centennial, Calgary Heritage and Other Rotary Clubs are joining forces to fund a sanitation and clean water project for the village of Sarurpur in northern India. The project, which will take advantage of facilities available from a hospital instigated by the Rotary Clubs, will make clean drinking water available to villagers and provide basic sanitation facilities.
The timeline for the project is to start construction in April 2015 and commission all facilities by mid-2016.
Project funds will be used for the construction of six public sanitation facilities, a centralized water purification plant and 300 decentralized bio-sand water filters in remote parts of the community.
