The Holland Rotary clubs donated $6000 to bring clean water to homes on the Oglala Lakota Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The water comes to the edge of the res, but there is no good way to get it to the homes of the people without running a lot of pipe. This work was done in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Boulder, CO.
