Yet Another Service Project By The Rotary Club Of Thimphu: Safe Drinking Water - The Most Basic Human Right

The Rotary Club of Thimphu is committed to providing safe drinking water to our school children. In collaboration with Disaster Aid Australia (DAA), we endeavor to supply 120 units of the unique SkyHydrant water filters by 2020, valued at $1,000,000.00. We have already delivered 31 of them. We hope to do 49 of them by this year's end.

Our engagement in safe drinking water to schools is not limited to SkyHydrant systems only - we also install UV treated RO systems. We have so far covered 13 schools across the country. Five more are in the process of being installed.

Clean and safe drinking water is important for the health of the children. Thus as a part of our Club’s contribution towards the education sector, safe and clean water is at the top of our priority list. 

Since 2013, the Rotary Club of Thimphu has done social service projects amounting to a staggering Nu.120,949,093.74. Our latest project is yet again supply of clean and safe water - this time to the Jungshina Primary School, Thimphu.
