The Rotary Club of Fort Lauderdale, Rotary International and Vestergaard Frandsen (the producers of LifeStraw®) are committed to reaching the UN Millennium Development Goal of reducing by half the number of people (1.1B world-wide, or 1/5 of the world’s population) without access to safe drinking water by 2015.
The distribution of this product will be through the infrastructure of Wheel Chair Foundation (created by Rotary Ft. Lauderdale chapter) which provides wheel chairs for those in need around the globe. This insures successful arrival within the target country, the avoidance of expensive import duty taxes, and the facilitation of delivery to local Rotary Clubs for successful field distribution and training. Rotary will be working closely with the Vestergaard Frandsen field personnel for training purposes.
The LifeStraw® Family is just now being made available and is an
extension of the water work that VF has been doing in
collaboration with the Carter Center’s program to eradicate Guinea Worm
Disease.
The Rotary Club of Ft Lauderdale together with Rotary International is working with organizations such as Vestergaard Frandsen to address the common mission of providing safe drinking water.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU |
