Description/Comments

There are as as many reasons to support The Rotary Foundation as there are ways to do good in the world. By contributing to the Foundation, you advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. Here are a few ways your contributions are making change possible: Fighting Hunger In Romania, orphans and sick children have eggs, milk, and meat because of a Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grant that benefits local farmers. The farmers are able to buy everything from animal feed to packaging materials. There is one stipulation: they must donate a portion of their products to children’s hospitals, schools, and orphanages. In Alaska, USA the Rotary Club of Anchorage East is also fighting hunger by distributing food to low income families through a mobile food pantry. Reducing Child Mortality The Rotary Clubs of Jaela-Kandana, Western Province, Sri Lanka, and Madras Northwest, Tamil Nadu, India are helping to reduce child mortality by providing improved sanitation facilities for 15 families in a small community in Sri Lanka. With a Rotary Foundation Grant, the clubs have built 14 toilets, helping to prevent diarrhea and other diseases related to poor sanitation. According to the World Health Organization, 1.8 million children die of diarrhea every year, making it the second leading cause of death among children under five. Proper sanitation can reduce the rate of child mortality in many communities byup to a third.
