Our Mission
Saving Lives With Safe Water
WaterIsLife was created in 2008 with one mission in mind: to bring the power of community together and save lives with safe water. Organized by the Freetown, Sierra Leone and Fishers, Indiana Rotary Clubs and supported by donors like you, we build wells to provide clean water for people in Sierra Leone.
Together, by the end of 2025, we will have built more than 200 wells impacting over 500,000 people — and our work isn’t done. Our goal is to build 1,000 wells by 2035. Safe water means health. It means hope. It means life.
When you support the Fishers Rotary WaterIsLife project, children can go to school, parents can work and care for their families, and people won’t lose their loved ones to preventable waterborne diseases.

Fostering A Spirit Of Generosity In Communities Around The Globe
The Rotary Club of Fishers, Indiana, was chartered in 1992. Since then, it has been a significant philanthropic force in our community and internationally, and is working diligently to expand this legacy.
Each Rotary Club is intended to reflect the makeup of its community, and this is certainly true of the Fishers Rotary Club. Business and community leaders in and around Fishers are active members, enabling it and them to fulfill Rotary’s mission to do good in the world.
