Project Description Region: Africa Country: Uganda Location: Mbarara Total Budget: $40,524 Area of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment View Online Proposal Form The need that has been identified is the equipping of an operating room at Holy Innocents Children's Hospital in Mbarara, Uganda. This hospital has been operating since July 2009 and has treated over 50,000 outpatient children and over 12,000 in-patient children for malaria, dysentery, respiratory diseases and other serious or life-threatening diseases. The hospital has contributed significantly to the health and well-being of children in Mbarara. The hospital is now beginning its second phase, to build a surgical center with two operating rooms. The surgical center has been designed and is currently out to bid with local Ugandan contractors. Construction is expected to start in early 2014 and be completed in late Q3 2014. This new Rotary project will provide a significant portion of the equipment required to outfit one operating room. Total cost of the equipment is expected to be $40,524. Rotary Fallbrook is contributing $15,000. We hope to obtain $7,500 in DDF from District 5340, and a match of $15,000 from TRF. The remaining $3,024 will be provided by the hospital and/or San Diego-based Holy Innocents Children's Hospital Uganda, Inc., an IRS 501(c)(3) which funded the initial construction and start-up of the hospital.

Proposed Financing Existing Contributions Towards This Project Date Cash DDF Total Fallbrook (5340) 29-Jun-13 $15,000 $7,500 $22,500 Amount Requested from The Rotary Foundation $7,500 $7,500 $15,000 Additional Contribution (not matched by The Rotary Foundation) $3,024 Total $40,524 DDF contributions in grey are pending approval of the corresponding district committee. Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
