Club Meeting: Jillian Haslam, Author

Jillian Haslam is a Humanitarian and works with the Rotary extensively. Jillian has written a book (A Voice out Of Poverty) that has received several high-profile endorsements for her work in poverty alleviation. To review the endorsements and the media kit, please visit www.jillianhaslam.com.

Jillian also works with the Rotary club of Salt Lake in Calcutta on several projects and has been made a fellow member. You can view some of her work on this video – https://youtu.be/tCSobk3sxjk. Jillian has spoken at several Rotary clubs in the United Kingdom and at the Rotary District conference as well to spread the word about the work she does and has received excellent testimonials. One of which, I am pasting below for your ready reference:

“Often, we see speakers described in publicity material as “inspirational” speakers and this often turns out to be a mere cliché.

But there is a speaker whom I recently heard who is truly inspirational and she is Jillian Haslam.

Her story of how she fought her way up out of the grinding poverty of the slums of Calcutta to a successful career in banking, speaking and writing I found both inspiring and very moving. She hasn’t forgotten her roots and now she helps those in Calcutta by her charitable work to improve their life chances.

Without exaggeration, she is one of the most amazing people that I have ever met.
