Clean water is a basic need for human beings. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, they live healthier and more productive lives. However, at least 3,000 children die each day from diseases caused by unsafe water, which is what motivates our members to build wells, install rainwater harvesting systems, and teach community members how to maintain new infrastructure.
While very few people die of thirst, millions die from preventable waterborne diseases, providing the impetus for our members to also improve sanitation facilities in undeveloped countries. Members start by providing toilets and latrines that flush into a sewer or safe enclosure and then add education programs to promote hand-washing and other good hygiene habits.
From the various water projects in which Rotary has participated, we have come to know the obstacles that many people across the globe face when it comes to some of the basic necessities of life. We tend to take for granted the clean and generally safe and plentiful water sources to which we have access.

I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
Jason Hernandez, a McKinney native, returning to the intersection of Greenville Road and Murray Street in east McKinney is what a full circle moment looks like.
“Being back on this street corner brings back bittersweet memories,” Hernandez said.
Bitter because it was outside a small store on the corner that Hernandez made his first drug deal when he was 15 years old.
Six years later he would be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Convicted of selling crack in 1998, Hernandez spent 18 years in a federal prison before President Obama granted his request for clemency.
Come to the meeting and meet Jason Hernandez and bring a guest.
