On Saturday 20 March 2021, the Rotary Club of Nassau Sunrise along with members of the Rotaract Club of Nassau Sunset launched a joint project to begin cleaning and removal of garbage and debris from government pumps in the inner city area of New Providence.
The inner city area, commonly known as Over-the-Hill, is known as the birthplace of many prominent Bahamian families and cultural (Junkanoo) groups. Due a lack of investment by stakeholders and financial challenges over the years, many homes and properties do not have access to the city’s potable water supply. Through this Rotary/Rotaract joint project, members are striving to improve the physical appearance of the experience of “going to the pump” by making the experience a dignified one. Over two weekends of 20 March and 27 March 2021, the clubs hope to visit over 70 standpipes (pumps) to do light cleaning, garbage and debris removal.
