WASH Ambassadors
The WASH Rotary Action Group Ambassadors are a group of knowledgeable members who provide support and promotion of the goals of WASH Rotary Action Group and The Rotary Foundation.
WASH Ambassadors know the importance of water, sanitation and hygiene for the health of an individual, a family, a community and to a nation.
WASH Rotary Action Group’s Ambassador Program aspires to engage a Rotarian in each Rotary District to serve as a WASH resource to other Rotarians, District Rotary leadership and to other senior leaders across their District.
A WASH Ambassador expands the awareness of WASH issues throughout their District and develops other Rotarians to be WASH advocates. Ambassadors serves to support WASH programs of Clubs.
An Ambassador brings WASH Rotary Action Groups’ voice and experience to promote, facilitate and advocate for meaningful action on WASH programs at the community, regional and/or national level.
