![]() Hopes and Dreams Water Initiative in Zambia
Feb 18, 2025
My subject is one of Rotary’s core value and that is the important topic of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. These will be international projects in Zambia & Zimbabwe, Africa.
Nello Ragusa was deeply moved with compassion after watching video footage of how in other parts of the world many children and families were living an underprivileged life.
Nello felt called to do something to make a profound difference to these precious lives and founded Hopes and Dreams in 2008.
Knowing he couldn’t take this on by himself he established key partnerships with like-minded people both in Australia and throughout Africa and Asia. Nello is CEO of Hope and Dreams.
