The Rotary Club of Buderim has a proud history of supporting clean water projects in Fiji, & today we were privileged to have Mark Stitt of FIT College speak to our club about the water contamination problems and how our contributions are making a difference. Mark has been supporting the Fijian clean water initiative for many years & our club is proud to have been able to work hand-in-hand with him in addressing these issues since 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 200,000 people living in <\/a>Fiji’s rural & remote areas rely on creeks & rivers to supply fresh water. Unfortunately, this water is often contaminated resulting in water-born disease & illness. Many villages, even in the more populated areas of the country, rely on clean water being delivered by trucks, & when the trucks are unable to deliver, businesses must close – including the schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buderim Rotary member, Paul Tanner, recently spent time in Fiji with Mark distributing 22 Lifestraw units to schools – our most successful distribution to date. Paul says the gratitude shown by the local people was not only humbling, but made him very proud to be a Rotarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
