WWSIV will again host an Exhibit area for sponsors to showcase their products and services. And, there will be space available for Rotarians to exhibit their WASH programs and projects. But - those spaces are limited. They will be allocated on a first-come, first served basis. Rates are extremely reasonable: - $50 for Wasrag Members (plus the registration fee of $120)
- $100 for non-Wasrag Members (plus the registration fee of $130)
If you are interested in exhibiting, please contact us at info@wasrag.org with the name of your project/program, the name of a contact and an email where we can reach you. |

A school classroom damaged from an earthquake, means children have to cram into the teacher's house for their lessons.
