Clean water, local jobs, lasting impact 💧
In the Dominican Republic, a water purification project is transforming lives. Despite challenges, Rotary members came together to fund and build a safe water source for their community. Now, five local residents are employed to run the plant, ensuring sustainable access to clean water for years to come.
Access to clean water changes everything. How can we work together to make it a reality for more communities? 💭
