District 7020: Championing Environmental Sustainability

I was happily surprised to see how clubs in District 7020 take environmental action seriously.

With the club of Tortola, Ihad the pleasure of visiting thriving mangroves that are lovingly maintained by the Rotarians of this club, a testament totheir dedication to preserving natural ecosystems. One especially memorable highlight was walking thru this a magical wooden walkway, a stunning place

March DG Message

Fellow Rotarians and Friends of Rotary,

March is our time to shine a light on one of Rotary’s key Areas of Focus: Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene. Here in District 7020, we’ve seen the transformational power of HANWASH (Haiti National Clean Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Strategy)—a visionary initiative ensuring every household in Haiti has sustainable access to safe water. But this vital mission doesn’t end in Haiti, as water scarcity still affects millions of people in over 25 countries worldwide. May we come together this month, as People of Action, to replicate the HANWASH model wherever it’s needed, so that water may become a universal source of health, education, and peace.
