World Water Summit 7
Sao Paulo, Brazil
Thursday, June 4, 2015
Immediately before the
Rotary International Convention
Water, sanitation, and hygiene education (WASH) forms one of the six areas of focus for The Rotary Foundation, and Rotary Clubs around the world. Rotarians with a particular interest in WASH have come together through Wasrag - the Water & Sanitation Rotarian Action Group,to share experiences, learn, and provide program support to clubs, districts, and their partners.
Each year Wasrag sponsors a one-day Summit, held
immediately before the Rotary International Convention,
that focuses on important aspects of WASH. The 2015 Summit theme is WASH in Schools, and will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Investing in WASH in Schools has proven results.
Children spending significant time in school need access to safe drinking water, hand washing facilities, comfortable and clean sanitation facilities, and training on WASH. And we know that children take knowledge and practices home - resulting in a secondary impact of improvements at home. Rotary Clubs can make huge contributions to the global goal of good WASH facilities in all primary and secondary schools around the world.
