World Water Week

Experts, decision makers, and leaders from around the globe are meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, this week to exchange ideas and develop solutions to the most urgent water-related issues.

That's why The Rotary Foundation has awarded nearly 5,000 grants totaling US$52.7 million to support water and sanitation projects since 1978.
