On the Sun Lakes Rotary facebook page, PDG Gary Whiting is asking for help from other Rotary Clubs:
"Our Sun Lakes Rotary Club is in the process of putting together a 2018-2019 Rotary Global International Grant (Humanitarian: Water Project) and we are now looking for other Rotary Clubs and Rotary Districts in the USA and around the world that would have an interest in participating. The grant is an effort to provide running water inside homes (dwellings) on the Navajo Indian Reservation which is located mainly in the State of Arizona with some in the States of New Mexico, Utah and Colorado USA. Currently, it is estimated that there over 26,000 dwellings across the Navajo Reservation that do not have “inside” running water and can only obtain their safe water supply by having it hauled by a water truck, stored in 50-gallon drums next to the dwelling and then taken inside and stored in small water containers for use. In most cases, this will provide 7 gallons of safe water per day for a month before the necessary refill. Additionally, these dwellings do not have inside showers or bathroom facilities because of the lack of running water and in many cases have no electricity.
"Without getting into all the details, the dwelling will receive an in ground water reservoir tank, pump, water purifier, solar panel, hot water heater and sink with faucets.
"We are asking you to discuss with your own Rotary Club if they would participate in this International Global Grant which would require adding your club to the grant and provide some USA dollars. Presently, we want the grant to be over $100K USA Dollars. Additionally, if your club is outside the USA it would help with the international requirement for the grant as well.
