The Rotary Club is launching an initiative to build a wind-powered well and solar-powered greenhouse for off-grid communities, providing clean water and fresh food to communities in need. For example, many families in the Navajo Nation lack reliable access to safe drinking water and fresh produce, making this project a lifeline for health, sustainability, and self-sufficiency.
Why It Matters
✅ Clean Water Access – A solar-powered well will provide reliable, off-grid water for drinking, irrigation, and livestock.
✅ Sustainable Agriculture – A greenhouse will grow fresh vegetables year-round, improving nutrition and food security.
✅ Environmental Impact – Solar and wind power ensures zero emissions and long-term energy savings.
Project Cost & Goals
💰 Estimated Cost: $305,000
- Wind-powered well: $250,000
- Solar-powered greenhouse construction: $50,000
- Tools, seeds, and training: $5,000
