Rotary & World Water Week
Posted by Craig Clarke
Experts, decision makers, and leaders from around the globe are meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, this week to exchange ideas and develop solutions to the most urgent water-related issues.
Rotarians know all about the importance of safe drinking water. That's why The Rotary Foundation has awarded nearly 5,000 grants totaling US$52.7 million to support water and sanitation projects since 1978.
Ron Denham, chair of the Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group, is attending this year's event in Stockholm, Sweden, 5-11 September.
"Almost everyone in the water world will be there," says Denham, who served as general coordinator of the 2007-08 Water Resource Group. "I will be talking with organizations about partnering with WASRAG, because we want to help The Rotary Foundation leverage money from other organizations."
Denham says Rotary not only provides money through Foundation grants but also represents boots on the ground. "We provide people who work."
