In the Rotary world, we acknowledge a different theme for each month of the year. March happens to be 'Water and Sanitation' which is one of Rotary's 6 areas of focus. In addition, March 22nd is recognized as World Water Day. 

 

From Rotary International: (A 2016 story that deserves to be told again.)

"Clean water and sanitation is a human right. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, they lead healthier and more successful lives." For the rest of the story, click on the link below:
