Foundation Minute
It’s heartwarming to know that The Rotary Foundation has received for the 12th consecutive year from Charity Navigator, an independent evaluator, its highest rating. Explaining the rationale for the award, the president and CEO of Navigator, Mr. Michael Thatcher, points out that the Foundation demonstrates “…both strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency.” Not only that, Thatcher reiterates that a 4-Star evaluation testifies that The Rotary Foundation “…exceeds industry expectations and outperforms most charities…”
Two Rotary clubs recently outperformed their peers when they responded to the news of the ravaging Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). The Rotary Clubs of Monrovia, Liberia and Marlow, UK, jointly dedicated a medical oxygen plant worth $200,000 to Eternal Love Warming Africa (ELWA) Hospital, on the outskirts of Monrovia in Paynesville. Piped to connect the hospital building, the plant will supply oxygen for surgical wards, emergency room and other treatment centers. The funds were raised through individual and corporate donations, roadside fundraising campaigns in the UK and e-mailing funds through the global Rotary Foundation.
On the same note, the Scottsdale Sunrise Rotary Club has donated medical supplies and equipment worth $1.5 million to the districts of Nyaruguru and Huye, two of the poorest districts of Rwanda. Teaming with Project C.U.R.E (Commission on Urgent Relief and Equipment), the clubs delivered three 40-foot containers, each carrying 1000 pieces of equipment including: electrocardiogram machines, incubators, anesthesia supplies, examination tables, wheelchairs and feeding tubes.
In consonance with The Rotary Foundation’s goal of alleviating poverty, The Gold Coast Lake Success Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of New Delhi, in partnership with the NIT Foundation, have announced a $150,000 grant towards the development of a skill and career program for the youth of India. Initiated by Immediate Past District-Governor, Ravishankar Bhooplapuri, the vocational project is aimed at training immigrants in skills needed to survive in the metropolitan cities of India.
