Rotary International Hosts Clean Water Summit
The Rotary International hosted a Clean Water Summit conference December 14th-15th in Petion-Ville (near Port-au-Prince) Haiti. This was an international conference featuring the Haitian Prime Minister Jacques Edouard Alexis and Rotary International President Wilf Wilkinson as keynote speakers.
The topics in this conference were organized around the two most difficult challenges in clean water programs today (1) How to keep projects operating effectively over time and (2) How to scale projects up to be regional or national in size. Using the landscape of problems and opportunities for clean water in Haiti’s schools and households, the Summit examined these two most elusive goals : sustainability and scalability.
Additional information can be found at the summit website.
DSI was able to make many connections to move the organization forward. Pictured below are conference attendees Bill Gallo, Daniele Lantagne (CDC), Ruth Dykstra (DSI President), Michael Ritter (DSI Vice President), Tim Mech (DSI Chairman of the Board), Joe Cicero (DSI board member).
