Rotary District 6200, 4250, 6080 & 6110 October 20111 Water Project

In many parts of the world this is how the people get drinking water. Not very sanitary is it. Some will boil the water before drinking but that takes time and resources that could be used for other things.3

Jack installing the first Sawyer Filter in Belize in October of 2010. Iguana Creek Government School.8When you eliminate waterborne disease from a village you empower that village in more ways than you can imagine. Recent studies have shown Sawyer filters eliminate up to 85% of all diarrheal disease within the community just weeks after implementation.

The filter pays for itself within a year with money that would have been spent on medical bills or fuel/wood to boil water.

Income that was spent on medical bills for preventable diseases is now spent on food and other essential items.

Men and women are healthy enough to work and earn a living.

Parents dont have to stay home from work and tend to their sick children.

Children can attend school and get an education

9Providing JobsNot only are Sawyer filters being distributed for humanitarian aid, they are also creating sustainable economic opportunities in several countries around the globe.

According to the WHO, Water management is a key factor in the global battle to remove the scourge of extreme poverty and to build secure and prosperous lives for hundreds of millions of people in the developing world.

Sawyer has assembly facilities in Haiti, Rwanda, Ghana, Honduras, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, South Africa, Sierra Leone and Tanzania. Currently these facilities are mainly servicing NGOs and relief agencies. However, in the near future sales of Sawyers commercial line of water filters will create many more jobs as these low cost home systems are marketed and sold on a mass scale to families in more urban areas.

Fill up the bucket with water from a lake, stream, borehole, contaminated well and gravity does the rest. This fast flowing system produces more than enough clean, safe water for a familys daily drinking, cooking and cleaning needs. With proper maintenance the filter never needs replacing. When it clogs or slows down simply backwash it with the included syringe.

Removes: ALL harmful bacteria and protozoaOutput: Up to 360 gallons per day using gravity. Increase the output with additional filters or increased head pressure.Life expectancy: Capable of lasting decades Weight: 8 ounces, find a bucket when you get in country.

Squeeze FilterDont trust the tap or bottle water abroad? This filter screws directly on to most threaded water bottles as well as the reusable pouches included with the filter. You can either squeeze the pouch and filter water into a different container/water bottle or drink directly from the filter. This lightweight filter is perfect for traveling.

12The Sawyer differenceWith Sawyer filters you are creating lasting change in these communities. We have reported cases where neighbors see the benefits of having a filter and then travel miles to find and purchase their own.

Within a couple months of your initial filter implementation significant behavioral change will be taking place regarding clean water practices as people experience the benefits first hand.

Using our global distribution network we can deliver, install and train the community on proper filter use within 30 days of your purchase on your behalf.

We can assist in making sure your project is monitored, evaluated and sustainable. Follow up training and regular reporting on how the filters are performing after instillation is an available service.13Top Ten Features of the Sawyer FilterEach filter is tested three times before it leaves the factory.

Its international, but close by and a desirable tourist destination a tropical paradise!

Belize has a stable government and welcomes foreign visitors.

24 Why Belize?Population of around 400,000 average income roughly $10,000 yearSome families spend $60 month for clean drinking water for their kids to drink while attending school ($720/ year)Urban areas have good water but most rural areas have no public water systems at all.English is the official language of Belize making communication & training much easier25 There are global grants being written by 2 future vision districts (6200 in Louisiana & 5340 in California). One grant will put filters into schools and the other will put them with families. The goal is clean water for all of Belize within 3 years.

Belize has 9 Rotary, 2 Rotaract and 5 Interact clubs.

26 Why Belize?Why Now?

The lack of safe drinking water is the primary cause of diseasein the world today. Water borne pathogens account for 90% of deaths of childreneach year.

When children die from water borne diseases, it is a horrible, horrible death.

29 The Filter

My GoalThey have sent 4800 Filter Kits to dateI want to send 5000 (which will help 20,000 people: 4 people to a family)I am asking the club to consider giving $250 which will buy 10 filter kitsmore is always welcome.I am going to get this presentation and a letter to all clubs in our district (40) and our rotary zone (1060) and ask for the same amount31 My GoalIs this goal to far out there?
