The Rotary Club of Niagara-on-the-Lake contributed $2000 to the Global Grant WASH project in Belle Vista, Bolivia.
Sponsored by St. Catharines, this grant enabled the digging of a well deep enough, and testing it to ensure the water is free of mercury.
It is pumped to an overhead holding tank and distributed to the community.
Twenty years after the Dental Clinic in Kampala Uganda opened in 2005, it is still providing services to people who can't afford treatment, serving 18,000 - 20,000 patients per year.
Niagara-on-the-Lake raised $185,000 to help fund this initiative and the clinic is now self-sustainable with a current staff of 12 dentists, 3 hygienists and 18 dental assistants.
