For the past 3 years, Rotary and We Can’t Wait have supported the EWASH project in Ethiopia in partnership with International Needs Australia (INA) and their local lead partner, Bole Bible Baptist Church Child Care and Community Development (BBBC).
On Wednesday 21st October we will hear directly from Kebede Wolde-Giorgis, Executive Director of BBBC, about what the partnership is achieving.
Over the three years of the current program, Rotary has provided $130,000 (matched by INA through ANCP) for toilet blocks for schools, private latrines for households and community access to safe water. Additionally, $12,500 contributed improving local water access. Robyn and Tony Stokes were fortunate to be able to visit the project area with Kebede in late 2025.
Please join us for breakfast at our club meeting on 7:30-8:30am on Wednesday October 21 at The Tudor Best Western 1101 Whitehorse Rd Box Hill. Confirm to Tony Stokes tonywstokes544@gmail.com.
