GG2688284 - Draft Global Grant

Our grant is on the agenda of the 11 April District 6450 Grants Subcommittee monthly meeting. If that meeting goes well, we will be ready to submit the grant to The Rotary Foundation for approval.

Water for Life - Malawi

Leveraging the success and experience gained from the previous global water grant, we are seeking to drill five sustainable wells this summer in the Zomba region of Malawi.

VIP will again be our NGO partner, and Blantyre will again serve as the host club.

Villages to receive one or more wells

  • Manduwasa (460 ppl)
  • Makuluni (635 ppl)
  • Mmwala (1,405 ppl)
  • Maulana (890 ppl)
  • Maliwata (1,135 ppl)

This project will benefit about 1,000-1,250 people across the five new wells.
