Chris Roesel, a Rotarian WASH Cadre member of the eClub of WASH, leads a nonprofit P2P Inc, that is implementing projects in Yumbe. He will be speaking to our club in regards to how our global grant donation will support the project.
The purpose of this project is to benefit twelve communities of about 18,000 people in Yumbe, Uganda with water, sanitation, hygiene, and point-of-use filters. The goal of this grant is to provide the services to the communities and demonstrate their impacts.
Previously, we have used these methods and the combination of WASH elements and measured the impact among 8,000 people in six villages of Yumbe. We have measured decreases in diarrheal incidence of 90%. The impact will be measured by decreased diarrheal and other water-borne disease incidence and expenses, increased income, and decreased school absenteeism of primary and secondary school girls. We will survey the impact of pre- and post-grant implementation.
This program was scheduled by Tom Taylor.
David Slater our new Assistant District Governor will be here to introduce himself to our club.
NOTE: Next week is Third Thursday - Pizza Shoppe. Please sign up Friday at the meeting or email Bob Stone that you will be attending.

Help Rotary Recruit Peace &
Development Leaders
Applications for the 2025 Rotary Peace Fellowships are open until May 15th.
You can help promote peace in the world by encouraging peace and development leaders in your community to apply for the Rotary Peace Fellowship.
Each year, Rotary awards up to 130 fully funded fellowships for peacebuilders from diverse backgrounds to study at one of our peace centers located at leading universities around the world. This year, we’ll select 50 peace fellows to study in our master’s degree programs at six partner universities in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the United States and 80 fellows to earn postgraduate diplomas through our professional development certificate programs at Makerere University in Uganda and Bahçeşehir University in Turkey.
Rotary Peace Fellows use their training to amplify their work at the local, regional, or global level. Together, we can advance peace by encouraging our local peacebuilders to learn about Rotary and apply for this unique fellowship.
But we need your help finding candidates.
Rotary and Rotaract members can get involved by:
Visiting the Rotary Peace Centers Facebook page for application graphics and posts to share
Forwarding the fellowship announcement to your contacts and including it in club and district communications
Using our referral form so potential candidates can receive more information and apply
Sharing a PowerPoint presentation about the fellowships with your club members and community
Taking the All About Rotary Peace Fellowships course to learn about the centers and fellowship qualification criteria, eligibility restrictions, and application process
Candidates have until May 15th to submit applications to The Rotary Foundation.
Thanks to generous support from donors and the dedicated participation of Rotary members, the peace fellowship program has more than 1,700 alumni working to make positive change in more than 140 countries. Many program alumni have founded their own organizations to address critical issues or serve as leaders in governments, nongovernmental organizations, educational and research institutions, media and the arts, and international organizations like the United Nations and the World Bank.
To learn more about how you can recruit the next generation of peace fellows, contact your district Rotary Peace Fellowship subcommittee chair or write to rotarypeacecenters@rotary.org.
