CROOK Rotary Club is helping to provide clean, safe drinking water for African villages by raising money to buy filters made in the North-East.
The club has donated £2,200 to an AquaFilter project, which cleans up contaminated water using a hand- pumping system.
Club president Ken Davison presented a cheque to George Craig, of Gosforth Rotary Club, and Steve Wilkes, from AquaFilter, in Sunderland.
The filters have been used in Ghana through a project led by the Rotary Club of Accra, and have proved so successful they have been adopted by Rotary District 1030, the North-East region, and are likely to be taken up internationally.
