Rotary Foundation Month

The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. As the charitable arm of Rotary International, The Foundation taps into a global network of Rotarians who invest their time, money, and expertise into initiatives like eradicating polio and promoting peace. Foundation grants empower Rotarians to approach challenges such as poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition with sustainable solutions that leave a lasting impact.

Rotary Tackles Water and Beach Pollution

 
As clubs in the eastern region of the district continue to recover from the hurricanes of 2017, they are also cutting down on the pollution on beaches and waters.
 
 
The St. Thomas II club designed a project to assist US Virgin Islanders with operative cisterns on St. Thomas and St. John to check the quality of the water they were consuming for cooking, drinking and for personal hygiene. The clubs provided information to ensure the community had the tools to maintain a clean, functioning cistern system.
 
In addition to ensuring the country has clean potable water, the Rotary Club of Sint Maarten, with a District 7020 Recovery Grant matched by funding from The Rotary Foundation Donor Advised Fund totalling $40,000, are cleaning their beaches with a special beach cleaning machine to avoid pollution.
