A Rotarian's awareness of local resources in his community helped bring about a water project benefiting 10,000 people in Ghana, more than 7,000 miles away.
Two years ago, Doug May, a member of the Rotary Club of SaddleBrooke, Arizona, USA, was mentoring students at his local chapter of Engineers Without Borders at the University of Arizona when he heard about a clean water project the group was launching in Ghana.
May thought his Rotary club could help by securing a US$15,000 Matching Grant from The Rotary Foundation, partnering with the Rotary Club of Ho, Volta Region, Ghana, near the project site.
