Vietnam Water Project

In coordination with the Care to Help Project, the World Community Service Committee of the Bellevue Rotary Club is sponsoring a water project in a Vietnam village called B'Dor, an ethnic minority village of about 2000 people that currently does not have a source for safe drinking, cooking or bathing water. B'Dor is about 80 miles south of Da Lat, in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.

Care to Help Project Director Scott Mantz will be providing photos and progress reports throughout the duration of this project.

Latest News From Scott Mantz ...

I am happy to announce that the Bellevue Rotary sponsored well project at B'Co village in Vietnam has been completed and is in operation! The crew completed the project on November 12, and the opening ceremonies were held on November 15.

B'Co village is next to B'Dor where we first started drilling, but had no success. The villagers of B'Dor are welcome to come to B'Co to collect clean water, which is a lot easier than walking to where they had been collecting water, not to mention that this is safe water for consumption. Between the two villages, this well will provide safe water to well over 1,000 people.

The villagers have asked me to tell the Bellevue Rotary how much they appreciate what you have given them. They thank you very much. This well will make their lives so much easier.
