WASH AMBASSADOR CORPS

The WASH Rotary Action Group Ambassadors are a corps of knowledgeable members who provide support and promotion of the WASH goals of WASH Rotary Action Group and The Rotary Foundation. Among other things, they may help fellow Rotarians in the following ways:

1. Provide speakers for club meetings and other events. 2. Share information/needs assessment data with others to enhance the quality, relevance and sustainability of projects undertaken in their region. 3. Provide local Rotarians with access to professionals worldwide who may address their district's need for expert advice in areas such as technology, sustainability, monitoring and evaluation, etc. 4. Liaise between their district and others to create partnerships that will facilitate project development and enhance funding opportunities.

If you need help with or information about a WASH project, you can contact the ambassador in your district and in the international district in which you are interested. They are there to help.

Current ambassadors are listed here on the right, and may be contacted by email by clicking their names. While it is a volunteer position, it holds great responsibility as well as the potential to make a significant contribution toward achieving universal access to clean water, hygiene education and improved sanitation.

If you are interested in being appointed as a WASH Rotary Action Group Ambassador, please send an expression of interest to info@wasrag.org and include the following information:

• Contact details • Name of your Rotary club • Rotary District number • District in which you wish to serve as Ambassador • Brief summary of your goals and objectives if you are appointed as an Ambassador • What you would do to achieve these goals • What languages you are fluent in. Could you help translate WASH-RAG communications from English into the primary language of the Rotarians in your Ambassadorial area?

By this means, you will communicate to us your interest and the region (e.g. district, country) for which you could act as an Ambassador. If you have questions you may direct them to the Ambassador Project Manager at info@WASRAG.org
