Project Description Region: Africa Country: Botswana Location: Ghanzi District Total Budget: $45,000 Area of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene The village, D'Kar, is an impoverished bushman township. The village sits on top of a shallow aquifer which can easily be contaminated by human waste. Currently there are no public toilets in the area and thus there is a health risk from human excrement. The object of the project is to build environmentally friendly toilets which will not contaminate the aquifer. D'Kar village has a population of 2 800 people as recorded in the 2022 National Census.

This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
