In response to a need for filtered water fountains in the Nogales, Sonora Public School System, Rotary Club of SaddleBrooke plans to install 100 fountains in Nogales Public Schools. Working closely with the Rotary Club of Nogales, we will receive a grant from Rotary International to help with costs.

At the present time, the children are purchasing bottled water. Families with more than one child are finding it very difficult to purchase enough water for their children. The Public Health Department has established a need for filtered water in Nogales schools. This project will be active for several years and Rotary Club of SaddleBrooke is honored to help.
