About This Site

This website is a private Rotary initiative, and is not underwriten by the Rotary Foundation in Evanston. The goal of this website is to facilitate communications between Rotarians looking for projects to finance, and Rotarians looking to finance their local projects. Submitting a project on this site will not submit it to The Rotary Foundation. The project partners will have to follow the approval process with The Rotary Foundation once they have agreed to undertake a project through this website.

The projects on this site have originally been collected during a GSE trip from District 5340 (San Diego) to District 9200 (Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania) in April 2001. This team was exemplary in its focus and mission to identify potential service projects. The team leader was Rotarian Bob James from the La Mesa Sunrise Rotary Club. The team members were Elena De La Rosa, Timothy Kelley, Lori Killpatrick, Michelle Patterson, Julia Stevenson. Rotarian Philippe Lamoise from the Torrey Pines (La Jolla) Rotary Club went with the team to film and document the projects. This was an univocational team of teachers, so the service projects were originally for schools, but there are also some other projects in different domains.

Since then, projects from other locations have been added, and the site is now interactive, allowing Rotarians from all over the world to submit projects, and allowing some other Rotarians to pledge to participate to an existing project.

All the projects in this list are Global Grant projects, meant to be submitted to The Rotary Foundation. For more information, visit the Rotary International web site. Thanks for your support.
