SOLAR WATER PURIFIERS

Rotary Club of Lockport held a successful fundraiser on February 9th at the Davison Road Inn in Lockport - to purchase solar water purifiers for Thraka Province, Kenya.
 
On August 31st, a Swedish E-club led a webinar for the WASH Rotary Action Group. Looking for an affordable, organized, international effort to join, International Service Committee Chair Ellen Schratz (who led Tips for Tanzania in 2015) participated in the webinar.  
 
Armed with information and with a goal of raising $1450 – enough for 10 family-sized solar/ultraviolet Solvatten water purifiers for the WASH initiative she organized the Tips & Sips for Water fundraiser.  To date, over $2300 has been raised through tips, raffling a photo of the Rotary clock in Lockport, split club and checks from people in the community.
 
The E-club’s drive will end on World Water Day, March 22nd.
