Belize Water Project

$25,000

Most of the drinking water in Belize is polluted and children are dying from water borne deseases. We feel that we can help solve this problem by supplying a simple in house water filter system costing $50.00 each. These high quality filters provide safe water to a family (average of 8 per household) for approximately two years. It is estimated that 80% of all infectious diseases are water borne, and providing safe drinking water will lead to better health.

Status and Progress Information

Dropped

This project has been dropped. This is probably due to the loss of contact with the Coordinating Club. Project listed for the 2009-10 Rotary Year.

This has been a very successful project in Guatemala and now we are offering to supply filters to Belize. Please help us help them.
