Many times a small but ingenious idea will have a profound, life-changing effect on an individual, a family or a community. Imagine that 4 or 5 times a day you must trudge a distance to potable water and then walk back, balancing a 40lb jug of water on your head. This is the life of a woman in many African villages. Now think of a better way to get more water in a more efficient manner. Think of the time that's now available to pursue other activities, such as education. This week's meeting featured Luke Vostermans who joined us via Zoom from British Columbia to explain the project. Please visit https://www.rollahippo.org/rotary/ and then look at the videos on the website which will illustrate the impact improving water distribution has on a village and in particular, the women in the village.
