Recently we had the opportunity to contribute to an international project being championed by the West Vancouver Sunrise Rotary club. The RC Bulindo WASH project is a water and sanitation global grant project in Uganda they are leading. The grant is matched by District 5040 at 100%, and by the Uganda district at 150%, so it would be a 3.5 times multiplied contribution at any level. Our Club, Vancouver Fraserview, has donated $610, ($500 U.S.) to help this project.
Total budget for the project is just over $68,000
Bulindo is a neighborhood in Kira Municipality, Kyaddondo County, Wakiso District, in the Central Region of Uganda.
