Safe Passage Project
The Rotary Foundation actively supports projects worldwide. Many of the projects are requested by Rotarians and conducted by Rotarians through grants to individual clubs. For large projects, the Global Grant process allows individual clubs to support projects lead by other clubs. One such project supported by Lincoln Rotary is teh Safe Passage Project.
Steve Certa, Rotary District 7550 District Governor Elect for 2017-2018 from the Weymouth (MA) Rotary Club, made a presentation about the Safe Passage Project that provides support for children in Guatemala who live in a garbage dump. Very inspiring presentation about how one Rotarian woman made a big change for the affected people.
