Friday Photo: The New Buyuki Water Source

Thanks to Eugene Airport Rotary and other local clubs, this water source is no longer where the village of Buyuki gets its drinking and cooking water.

The Rotary Club of Mengo helps text the new water well, which will provide a safe water source for Buyuki.

Rotary International approved the project for a matching grant, and it’s being implemented by the Rotary Club of Mengo in 2007-2008, working with a project management committee appointed by the Buyuki village council. International Partners are: Eugene Airport Rotary (Lead Club), Eugene Southtowne Rotary, Rotary Club of Roseburg Morning, Rotary Club of Philomath, Rotary Club of Eureka and Rotary Club of Mt. Shasta. Eugene Airport Rotary’s International Service Chair, Larry Rhodes, traveled to Buyuki in September 2007 for project implementation.

Our club is committed to international service projects and we look forward to continuing our work with Buyuki, Uganda. For more information on this project, visit
