Humanitarian Projects - Project Planning Describe the community needs that your project will address. Medical Mission in communities (sites) in the Philippines that have little access to medical and dental services or cannot afford available services. Well Water Project in the community provides much needed clean water to an area that has limited access to this, walking miles to get access. How did your project team identify these needs. In the Philippines, access to quality healthcare is a major challenge for many rural and poor communities. Limited resources, lack of infrastructure, and geographic barriers make it difficult for these communities to receive the medical and dental care they need. Through local government and church communities we are able to communicate the needs for that community. The number of people that are getting sick and accessibility to medical facilities plays a huge role for the services we need to provide and prepare.The President Elect Father Roger Pingol and the medical mission team met with local communities who requested assistance for 2026 to identify these needs. A Philippine team of physicians and dentists partner with our medical mission teams to also determine needs and assist with implementation and service delivery in partnership with local public health officials and physicians/clinicians. How were members of the benefiting community involved in finding solutions. Our team and local community leaders assessed and identified the need and locations in the community where the services are needed for medical/dental/surgical and reading glasses. How were community members involved in planning the project. Prior to the medical, dental mission and water well projects, there is one year of planning, preparation, and fundraising to organize. Our club discusses any factors needed to propel our projects. We communicate with church organizations, local government, and other Philippine Rotary Clubs to discuss communities that need help. A couple of our club members often travel to meet with the organizers once we identify the community to do the project, we ensure and secure the the site. It is then reported back to our club to finalize the preparation, organized logistics and resources for the mission.
