Newsletter – Spring 2025
Happy 2025! We've been busy since our last update, both internally (adding members to our board and a change of executive directors, bye Nikki!) and externally (completing our big water and sanitation project in rural Tanzania).
In this issue of the AVFCW update, we focus on the details of our Tanzania project, along with updates regarding our ongoing partnership with Banyan Tree in Cambodia to establish clean water and sanitation in remote schools and villages there.
Big thank you to local Tanzanian project manager Stephen Marco, who was our point of contact on the ground and who oversaw the procurement of supplies,...
Newsletter – Fall 2024
It's been a while! We've been hard at work over the past year on a variety of projects, so this fall issue happens to be the very first newsletter we've managed to get out the door this year.
This time around we focus on the school sanitation project we collaborated with Banyan Tree on in Tanzania. Eileen Heasley and Patti Lee had a chance to visit Tanzania in 2023 through Board Member Scott Brills' safari company and fell in love with the country. This led to wondering how they could give back to the local community that they had formed such...
Annual Letter 2023
Dear Friends of A Vision For Clean Water,
As 2023 came to a close, we reflected on our many endeavors and contributions towards enhancing clean water and sanitation. Our 2023 journey began with a robust start as board members and volunteers embarked on a trip to Cambodia to inspect latrines and handwashing stations constructed in collaboration with Southeast Asia Support (SEAS) and Banyan Tree Organizations. This
immersive experience provided us with insights into the history and adversities faced by the people of Cambodia. Through our support in funding the construction of latrines, handwashing stations, and water storage tanks at government schools, healthcare facilities,...
Newsletter – Fall 2023
Although it's pretty much winter by this time (for many of you), we wanted to be sure and send out one more email before 2023 comes to a close.
This edition of the AVFCW newsletter covers our work with Days for Girls (Worldwide), Banyan Tree (Cambodia), and local Rotary Clubs.
We recognize the importance of addressing menstrual health as a crucial step toward ensuring girls’ consistent attendance in school. This leads to increased body literacy and decreased stigma and shame. DfG’s reusable kits have been a game-changer in the lives of millions of young girls worldwide already.

Newsletter – Summer 2023
We hope you're all staying as cool as possible during this summer, the hottest in recorded history. The droughts and wildfires around the world serve to highlight the importance of water to the planet and everything that lives on it.
This edition of the AVFCW newsletter covers updates regarding the Walk for Water fundraiser held in Ontario, Canada last May.
Our goal of having 40 walkers was met and exceeded. Also, the Water Walk got a bit of attention from local media where a few of the participants and AVFCW volunteers were interviewed. The feedback was so positive that we plan to...
Walk for Water
On May 5, 2023, A Vision for Clean Water joined multiple Windsor, Ontario Rotary Clubs in participating in the Walk for Water awareness campaign. Participants carried one gallon of water (8.3 lbs/3.77 kg) for one kilometer in order to highlight the challenges faced by 2.1 billion people around the world that lack access to clean water and sanitation.
