International Service

Rotary District 7490 International Service

 
Under the leadership of District Governor John Susani, Rotary District 7490 has established an International Service Committee and Governor John Cosgrove continues to support the committee.
 
The four goals of the committee are as follows:
 
  1. Find - We will help all clubs, no matter their size, find, start or join international projects that pique their interest. These projects may originate with the Clubs, District and Rotary international.
  2. Facilitate - We will help club members formulate and develop their project, from start to finish.
  3. Promote - The committee will help you share your project within our district and promote the idea of international projects so that smaller clubs can join in international service.
  4. Train - We will provide information for club members to help them apply for grants and to keep their project advancing.
 
WHAT IS A DISTRICT INTERNATIONAL SERVICE PROJECT?
 
  • Must have a Rotary host club in another country as a partner
  • Fit into one of Rotary International seven areas of focus: Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution, Disease Prevention and Treatment, Water and Sanitation, Maternal and Child Health, Basic Education and Literacy, Economic and Community Development and Support the Environment
  • Must be a sustainable project
  • Participation with other Clubs in the District recommended
 
We encourage clubs within the district to look for ideas for your own projects and post on this website to partner with other clubs in our district.
