A major initiative of the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island, WA, for the 2007-2008 year is to provide clean water for citizens of the Kaberamaido and adjacent Districts in Uganda. In April 2001, two Rotarians from our club visited six schools in the Kaberamaido District of Northern Uganda.  At a school in the rural village of Ochero, children were noticeably less healthy in appearance.  When it was learned that the school lacked a nearby source of clean water, the Rotary Club of Bainbridge agreed to drill a well on the primary school campus in 2002, and our clean water initiative was launched.  In 2007 we completed the 44th deep water well.
