Heidi Rickels
Fresh Water International

Nick introduced Heidi who joined the meeting from Whitefish MT via Zoom. She explained the Fresh Water International mission and their project in Malawi. 

Her organization helps assure clean water, adequate sanitation, and hygiene education. Through sustainable Water-Sanitation-Hygiene (WASH) projects and partnerships with local stakeholders, they empower individuals and enhance public health. Their partnership with the community is making for a brighter future in Malawi!
Freshwater has a three prong focus: Community projects in rural areas where access to safe, clean water presents a major challenge. School projects which include water access, safe sanitation and hygiene education. Health Center projects include the upgrade of WASH systems at rural health facilities throughout Malawi.

The Object of Rotary
is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
