Dr. Walt Schafer CSU, Chico Sociology Professor Emeritus
Dr. Schafer’s presentation describes a program begun in 2008 through which Chico Rotary Club and 15 other Rotary clubs in Northern California have partnered with the Rotary Club of Moshi, Tanzania, and with Rotary International to bring clean water and sanitation to villages in the Mt. Kilimanjaro region of northern Tanzania. This multi-year, sustainable collaboration has become a model of community development. The presentation highlights needs assessments, opportunities, challenges, successes, individual stories, and future plans.
