Clean water and sanitation is a human right. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, they lead healthier and more successful lives.
We don’t just build wells and walk away. Rotary members integrate water, sanitation, and hygiene into education projects. When children learn about disease transmission and practice good hygiene, they miss less school. And they can take those lessons home to their families, expanding our impact.
Rotary has issued a global challenge to its members, asking them to work collectively to improve education quality and access — particularly for girls — by working with communities to improve teacher training, curriculum, and water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities

Thank you to all who gave up Saturday evening to cook sausages for Cherrybrook Public School and raise around $950 for the school. The book sale banner raised a lot of interest in supplying books. This week is a big week for the book sale. Sorting tomorrow, Wednesday and if necessary Thursday – please come and help if you are able to. Friday is the first day of Sale. Lots of help will be needed Sunday afternoon for clean-up. Event Dinner is Saturday evening at West Pennant Hills Sports Centre. Andrew provided the meeting with more information. District conference. Amazing, Inspirational, Fantastic. A great insight into what Rotary and non-Rotary people achieve. Tony Makin showed photos and spoke about some of the speakers as well. Theme for the conference was ‘Old ways won’t open new Doors’ – Rotary clubs must change to survive. Several speakers spoke about ways Rotary clubs can change and still satisfy the needs of longer serving members. The concept of satellite clubs to cater for the needs of potential younger Rotary members was promoted. It was recommended that Satellite clubs be given freedom to set their own rules. John Germ (Immediate past RI president) was truly inspirational, Shane FitzSimmons RFS Commissioner spoke on the changes RFS had to make to survive and there is much similarity to Rotary. Kristian Liddiard from Yellow (previously Yellow Pages) spoke on helping small businesses survive. Recent out-going exchange students provided some insights into life after Rotary Exchange.
