Summary: Provide water purification system at the Angel Home in Rajahmundry, Andra Pradesh, India


Bethania Kids was founded in 1987 as a Christian ministry to provide a home for nine orphaned children in Kannavadi, Tamil Nadu, South India. Since then, Bethania Kids has grown to serve nearly 1000 impoverished children, women and families in 15 separate sites: four residential homes (2 for girls and 2 for boys) in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh; nine care centers providing day care and after school care in Tamil Nadu and tribal areas of Odisha; two centers for special needs children; and, six women's empowerment programs, where women learn skills to enable them to support their families. The Bethania Kids staff in each home, care center, and program are committed to providing top-quality and individualized care for every person served. Bethania Kids is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

A member of the Rotary Club of Estes Park has been involved with Bethania Kids for many years and recently visited the Angel Home in Rajahmundry.

This grant project is to provide a water purification system at the Angel Home in Rajahmundry, Andra Pradesh in India. The system will replace the current practice of daily boiling of all the drinking water needed for the 45 boys living at the residence home.

The equipment cost for the water purification system is $1,752. The system includes the purifier, storage tank, a roof shed for the purifier and all related components.

This grant application is requesting $968 in District grant matching funds, to go with $784 from the Rotary Club of Estes Park to purchase the water purification system equipment.

A member of the Rotary Club of Estes Park met with representatives of the Rotary Club of Rajahmundry River City and received confirmation they will assist in overseeing the project.

Project status updates will be provided at Rotary Club of Estes Park club meetings and in the club newsletter.
