The Rotary Club is launching an initiative to build a wind-powered well and solar-powered greenhouse on the Navajo Nation, providing clean water and fresh food to a community in need. Many families in the region 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: $235,000
- Wind-powered well: $200,000
- Solar-powered greenhouse construction: $30,000
- Tools, seeds, and training: $5,000
