Update on the Villa Peniel Sewer Project & Global Water Project
The Sewer Project in Villa Peniel, Honduras is moving along and will hopefully be closed out in the next several months.
The Lima Rotary Club Members have positively responded to the request to contribute $20.00 to the Global Water Project that the Lima Rotary will finalize later this Rotary Year. The giving by the Club Members may meet or exceed the level of participation to the micro credit project led by Ram Pai several years ago.
The fund raising effort for the Global Water Project now moves to the Corporate campaign with letters going out this week. Global Projects have a minimum budget of $30,000.00 and the International Rotary Foundation will provide a minimum of $15,000 toward an accepted project.
This fund raising effort will allow the Lima Rotary to support a large Global Water Project with sustainable, measurable outcomes in one of Rotary’s areas of focus. Grant sponsors form international partnerships that respond to real community needs and change lives. The Club has a goal of raising $7,500.00 for the Global Water Project. It is hoped that the funds can be collected within the next 60 days to allow the project development process to proceed.
