Rotary seeks to empower governments, institutions, and communities to manage water, sanitation, and hygiene services through environmentally sustainable, measurable interventions. Rotary members work towards decreasing waterborne diseases to help children stay healthier and attend school regularly. Access to clean water and sanitation can also help women spend less time carrying fresh water from far-off waterbodies, enabling them to be there for their families instead.

Delhi South Central Maloonga Check Dams Project
Implemented by: Rotary Club of Tripoli
Location: Rajasthan
Rotary constructed seven check dams in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, to conserve rainwater and increase the water table. This initiative provided the local community with year-round access to drinking and irrigation water, benefiting villagers and livestock. The project recharged groundwater, improved borewell water levels, and ensured water availability for cash crops, enabling two cultivation cycles per year. It generated local employment during construction and increased vegetative cover, providing fodder for livestock. Additionally, the project enhanced hygiene and sanitation, reduced diseases, offered vocational opportunities for women, boosted primary school attendance, improved rural incomes and lifestyles, reversed rural migration, and enhanced the health and productivity of livestock.
