Kelly Coleman, the Executive Director for Save the Rain, will share how Save the Rain began in 2005 with one tank, one family and one idea. Harvesting the rain has become a movement and is stopping the needless deaths caused by the global water crisis. Having access to consistent clean water is breaking the cycle of gender inequality. Girls no longer need to spend their days searching for water. It also alleviates poverty, transforms gender equity, improves education and health, and creates possibilities for women. Thousands of tanks, hundreds of thousands of people and still the same idea.

 

Save the Rain is a clean water charity that builds rainwater collection systems on homes and primary schools, providing generations of once water deprived communities with clean, safe drinking water. They also teach water conservation, reforestation, sanitation and hygiene, and sustainable agriculture. Their programs bring about lasting change that manifest in a myriad of ways.

 

The Rotary Club of Fair Oaks is a long-time sponsor of Save The Rain and looks forward to hearing Kelly's update about the amazing work this organization does.

 

Our meal will be: O’Connors BBQ - Pesto Chicken pasta, vegetables, caesar salad and garlic bread.
