On January 25, 2021, Gordon Young and Patrick MacNeil of the Niagara on the Lake Rotary Club zoomed into our meeting and presented the WASH, (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) project in Chisimulka, Rumphi District, Malawi, Africa. Recently the Rotary Club of Simcoe contributed $ 1,500 US to the $ 8,000 US project being sponsored by the Niagara on the Lake Rotary Club. The Chisimulka Clinic will have a new water storage tank, piping and plumbing as well as water testing and filtration. The Clinic has pipes to toilets, showers, and inside sinks  but they are not connected to the water supply.
