International Projects
While our respective Rotary clubs sponsor many projects in Africa and Latin America, we are focused on two in particular:
Uganda - Solar Cookers
The Uganda Solar Cooker Initiative introduces clean, energy-efficient cooking solutions to reduce reliance on firewood and protect reforested areas. By training families to use solar technology, the project promotes sustainability, health, and environmental conservation within rural communities.
Panama - Floating Doctors
Floating Doctors is a healthcare organization in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Paying volunteers will be participating in The Immersion Program which consists of learning about remote healthcare and cultural awareness in the indigenous Ngabe communities.
Ecuador - Marimba for Peace
Marimba for Peace brings music and cultural connection to communities in Ecuador through the teaching and sharing of traditional marimba. The program fosters unity, creative expression, and cross-cultural understanding while preserving an important part of Ecuador’s Afro-descendant heritage.
Ecuador - Regenerative Agroforestry
Our Agroforestry Program integrates tree planting, sustainable farming, and environmental education to promote long-term soil health and food security. By combining agriculture with forest restoration, the program supports local livelihoods while fostering biodiversity and climate resilience.
Uganda - Floodplain Restoration
This project focuses on revitalizing the Bunambutya Resettlement Center in Bulambuli District, Uganda, to create a greener, safer environment for displaced families. Through reforestation, canal protection, and sustainable land management, the initiative aims to restore natural ecosystems, reduce flood risks, and improve community resilience.
Tanzania - Family Reunification Program
This project is aimed at assisting and empowering children who are extremely poor.
Having consistence of lacking food, medical care, and access to education, they decide to flee in the streets. They are helped through counseling, providing judicial assistance, entrepreneur skills, sustainable use of natural resources and provide basic school materials to enable them stay in their communities. The goal of this project is to assist the children so they can live a self reliant life, continue with their education and not face discrimination in Kagera region of Tanzania.
