Gathering together people that are knowledgeable and passionate about WASH always leads to beneficial outcomes. 

The District 5450 WASH Committee was formed over 17 years ago.  This active committee holds monthly Zoom calls on WASH topics and have developed a well respected annual WASH Symposium.

Technical Assessments Grant

The WASH-RAG Professional Services Committee, through a generous grant from the Wallace Genetics Foundation, can provide a grant (up to $2,000 per club) to cover the cost of required "front-end" technical assessments that a Global Grant cannot fund.

Technical Assessments that might be required include hydrogeologic studies of groundwater, test drilling, and engineering designs. This grant can not be used for Community Assessments.

To learn more and apply, visit Technical Assessment Grant on our webpage.

Get a Partner and Obtain Funding

Our members often ask "Where can I find an International Partner?" and "How do I get other clubs to support my Project?" 

This fall we released our WASH Project Portal where you can submit your Global Grant information. The process to submit your project is easy and very straightforward. You can also submit your Global Grant, Community Assessment, and any additional information (e.g. photos, promotional pamphlets, etc.) 

It is clearly indicated which Projects need an International Partner. A bar chart indicates how much money has been raised. Regular follow-ups will keep the information updated. Upload your Global Grant and see how well the Portal works.
