Mero Beach Rotary Project

Mero Beach is the favorite beach for locals to visit in Dominica. This black sand beach might see a thousand people for a Sunday Beach Bash. However, very few in the village have indoor plumbing and they were in great need of improving sanitary practices. In response, 4 Rotary Clubs in Georgia, 2 in Tennessee have partnered with the Dominica Rotary Club and Caribbean SEA to provide model wastewater garden and a public toilet for the village. The kids in the village will also receive education programs about watersheds with a Ridge to Reef Watershed training camp this summer and programs throughout the year to help monitor the quality of the water around Mero. Projected completion date is July, 2009.
