“Whether we are reaching out to those in our own clubs, or reaching halfway across the world, personal involvement has always been fundamental to Rotarian service. When we Lend a Hand, we focus on this personal involvement and we celebrate our shared humanity. Working together, ready and willing to help our brothers and sisters in need, one hand can become many and there is no limit to what the helping hands of Rotary can accomplish.”
— 2003 International Assembly, Anaheim, California, USA
The Mhezi village water project initiative started in May 2013 with the major objective of increasing access to clean and safe water for villagers, school children, dispensary and the surrounding communities.
Successively the Rotary foundation has disbursed initial funds for developing a sustainable spring source, construction of a main storage, fixing a treatment unit, piping and construction of water distribution points, training on water system management, points to mention a few.
Effective completion of the expected system is assumed to sustain access to safe and clean water for domestic use, hygiene, sanitation, livestock, constructions, and food security.
