The Leprosy Concern by Hong Kong South Rotary Club in 2016
ENG
In 2016, the Hong Kong South Rotary Club completed the Butuo Water Project in Liangshan, Sichuan Province, to alleviate water scarcity in a leprosy-affected Yi ethnic community. Despite leprosy’s national elimination in China in 1982, survivors still face stigma and disabilities. The project provided clean water to 260 villagers across four settlements by installing over 19 kilometers of polyethylene pipes, multiple fiberglass tanks, and sedimentation tanks. It supplied drinking water, irrigation for 700 acres, and livestock water. Completed over nine months with community labor and technical assistance, the initiative followed Rotary International’s long history of leprosy relief dating back to the 1920s. Funded by international Rotary clubs and the Rotary Foundation, the project improved hygiene, reduced disease and malnutrition, introduced drip irrigation, and supported agricultural growth to enhance nutrition and livelihoods in the region.

Em 2016, o Rotary Club Hong Kong South concluiu o Projeto Água Butuo em Liangshan, província de Sichuan, para aliviar a escassez de água em uma comunidade étnica Yi afetada pela hanseníase. Apesar da eliminação nacional da hanseníase na China em 1982, os sobreviventes ainda enfrentam estigma e deficiências. O projeto forneceu água limpa a 260 moradores em quatro assentamentos, instalando mais de 19 quilômetros de tubos de polietileno, vários tanques de fibra de vidro e tanques de sedimentação. Forneceu água potável, irrigação para 700 acres e água para o gado. Concluído em nove meses com trabalho comunitário e assistência técnica, a iniciativa seguiu a longa tradição do Rotary International no combate à hanseníase desde a década de 1920. Financiado por clubes internacionais do Rotary e pela Rotary Foundation, o projeto melhorou a higiene, reduziu doenças e desnutrição, introduziu irrigação por gotejamento e apoiou o crescimento agrícola para melhorar a nutrição e o sustento na região.
