Peace Corps Response SERVICe In the Country of Georgia and WASH IN Schools An overview of how to continue your international volunteering through Peace Corps and address an urgent health need through Rotary service

Peace Corps Response & WASh in Schools Peace Corps is in about 90 countries around the world including Georgia Many volunteers with experience serve as Peace Corps Response volunteers Georgia would be considered an emerging nation Volunteers live with a host family and work with counterpart staff I worked at the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs

Peace Corps Response & WASh in Schools Georgia is a pretty country with an interesting background since it is still overcoming 70 years in the Soviet Union My primary service was teaching capacity- building to grow youth programs My secondary project was helping to grow a USAID WASH in Schools program Volunteers face challenges with the living conditions, weather and travel But most challenges are connected to work and being away from family and friends

Peace Corps Response & WASh in Schools Georgia is water rich country, but without any wastewater treatment Drinking water is mainly snow melt but I would still filter the water because of frequent water stoppages. Bottled water is plentiful, but they are just starting recycling of plastics and glass Rotary has five clubs* in Georgia They are doing many projects including helping with WASH in Schools

Peace Corps Response & WASh in Schools Georgia is water rich country, but without any wastewater treatment Drinking water is mainly snow melt but I would still filter the water because of frequent water stoppages. Bottled water is plentiful, but they are just starting recycling of plastics and glass Outdoor toilets and handwashing stations like in underdeveloped countries Pit latrines poorly located and little education

Peace Corps Response & WASh in Schools Georgian Medical Group is focusing on community mobilization, hygiene education and improving infrastructure Since there is no wastewater treatment, septic tanks and leach fields have been constructed. Drinking water is mountain springs but treated with UV light.

Peace Corps Response & WASh in Schools Georgian Medical Group has strong support from the Adjara Regional Government, primarily through the ministries of education and health. GMG also works with municipal leaders, school staff and community leaders. GMG also creates health clubs where older students teach younger students. Other medical schools and associations provide volunteers and help.

Peace Corps Response & WASh in Schools To expand the work of the Georgian Medical Group within Adjara and to garner support after the USAID grant ends, a coalition was formed that includes Rotary clubs of Georgia, Rotary clubs of Colorado, CARE International and World Vision. The idea of addressing needs beyond the Region of Adjara came about when the National Minister of Education, who is also a Deputy Prime Minister, publicly stated that he wants every school to have safe drinking water, proper sanitation and hygiene education leading to behavior change.
