Back in August, we had a groundbreaking ceremony of a high-impact project at Maximo Hernandez Memorial Integrated School. The project is sponsored by Rotary International District 3640 (South Korea), Rotary International District 3820 (Philippines), Rotary Club of Seoul-Saenamsam, and Rotary Club of Meycauayan Uptown (District 3770), in sisterhood with the Rotary Club of Marilao Circle, Rotary Club of Rosario, and Rotary Club of Metro Ibaan.
That project is now complete and has been turned over to the beneficiary school with 617 students, 28 faculty members, and one non-teaching staff.
Access to clean water and sanitation is a fundamental human right, yet millions around the world lack these basic necessities. Rotary Clubs tackle this issue head-on by implementing projects aimed at providing clean water sources, constructing sanitation facilities, and promoting hygiene education. By ensuring access to clean water, they empower communities to lead healthier and more dignified lives.
This is what we have accomplished with this project.
Maximo Hernandez Memorial Integrated School is located in an area that is not being serviced by the public water system. The only way they can have clean water is to set up a deep well.
Today, students, teachers, and even parents can enjoy clean water for washing and drinking.
This is what Rotary is about. By providing access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education, Rotary not only saves lives but also lays the foundation for sustainable development and prosperity. Improved WASH conditions lead to reduced instances of waterborne diseases, lower healthcare costs, increased productivity, and enhanced overall quality of life.
