Our Rotary Foundation

Foundation programs continue to be in great demand. The NEED is great too, for people like Andrea of Hinche, Haiti. She is raising three daughters alone since the death of her husband.   She can afford to send only one to school.  Their only source of water is a river about 2 miles away.  They bathe, wash their clothes, and fill their water jugs from this river. 

A district in Minnesota has recently been awarded a major matching grant request for a safe water and sanitation project in Hinche.  The grant will help the district finance the digging of latrines, teach basic health, and provide safe water for the people in Andrea's town. 

Unfortunately, not all good projects like this can receive the necessary funding.

When there isn’t enough money available, the Trustees of OUR Foundation must postpone funding many urgently needed projects. The mothers and children of the world, like Andrea and her daughters, need us NOW.
