During the week I was in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico it became clear that due to sheer lack, hygiene, and safety issues, two of the most basic needs—drinkable water and heat—are of tremendous concern.

With service above self as their motto, the local Rotary Club go to the people in dire need — not to gave a hand out, but a hand up — a fishing pole instead of a fish — educating people as they go.



The local Rotary Club has amazingly provided:

Water Cisterns

587 Cisterns built in 19 Communities

Benefiting 4000+ family members (+ other school & kinder children)

Cost per cistern – US $700

Ecological Stoves

Constructed 1,400 in 29 Communities

Benefiting 5,000 + family members

Have you ever had to walk miles to reach drinkable water?

Did you know that smoke from open cooking fires kills twice as many people as malaria?
