Bellingham Rotaract Club

Help Bellingham Rotaract and Pure Water for the World!

The Bellingham Rotaract Club is partnering with Pure Water for the World to build a WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) facility at the Betania School in Trojes, Honduras! Help make our goal of $4,000 to build a latrine station for a community with no access to clean water!

The Bellingham Rotaract Club is a local service club that strives to help the community, network, and build leadership and professional skills. We share ideals and goals of Rotary, which is an international organization that Rotaract is derived from. Find out more here!

Some of our past projects include:

a fundraiser to help support wildfire relief in the PWW
park clean ups
Winter clothing drive to support Bellingham's homeless population
and holding multiple joint meetings with Rotaract clubs around the world.

Pure Water for the World is an amazing 501(c)(3) cooperation that "partners with rural and underserved communities, where there are high incidences of waterborne diseases and a scarcity of aid. Together, they establish comprehensive safe water solutions that include the essential tools and education to serve all community members." They do this by working with the community to address their needs and create a personalized solution to promote better health and economic stability. This includes water technologies, education and training programs, sustainability measures, and sanitation technologies. Find out more here: purewaterfortheworld.org

The Betania School currently has 55 students and inoperative latrines. On top of that, they do not have adequate access to a handwashing station. PWW has been asked to help support this school in establishing a latrine and handwashing station, as well as hygiene education for students and teachers. The WASH station will include gender-specific latrines, a handwashing station, and double pits to ensure longevity. On top of that, the school will be educated on personal and menstrual hygiene practices and PWW will continue to monitor the success of this project for a minimum of three years to ensure proper and safe implementation.
