Click here to view the September 5 Webinar when we talked to D6820 Governor Mark DiBiase and D6740 Governor Seema Sachdeva about the recent water and flooding challenges in their districts.
Once again, #RotaryResponds where human needs are great. Lack of clean water is a significant issue for children and families around the world, and also, here in the Heart of America.
Jackson, MS Clean Water Crisis
Recent flooding has resulted in a crisis of clean water for Jackson’s 180,000 residents, pushing the city’s already compromised water system to breakdown. The consequences for the education, health and nutrition of children are especially dire. Schools have been closed due to lack of functioning bathrooms and kitchens. Parents struggle to feed their children due to a lack of clean water for cooking.
