Haiti Water Project

The Cheyenne Rotary Club has created a partnership with the Rotary Club of Kearney, Nebraska to purchase a $20,000 mobile drilling rig, which will be used for drilling wells in Haiti in coordination with Water 4 Haiti, a non-governmental organization.  In addition to the money raised by our Club and the Kearney club, we were recently awarded District Grants for the project.  The funding for the project will be:

            Cheyenne Rotary        $7500

            District 5440 Grant     $5000

            Kearney Rotary           $5000

            District 5360 Grant     $2500

            TOTAL                       $20,000

In addition, our Club has $7500 for individual water projects.  Our Club is also working on another $3000 grant to supplement the project.  Thanks to the generosity of numerous Club members, we will make a difference in the lives of thousands of Haitians.  Thanks to everyone that contributed to the Haiti fund.  Thanks also to those contributors to The Rotary Foundation (and Paul Harris Fellows), which is the source of the District Grant monies.
