Current Projects
Thank you for supporting the Rotary Clubs of Santa Rosa East/West and Sausalito
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.
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.

Past Projects
As executive Director of Alliance For Smiles (AfS) between 2017 and 2020, Alison oversaw, directed and raised funds for many international Rotary Grant missions, to countries around the world where cleft lip and palated children were operated on for free by teams of volunteers. Pictures shown here will give you an insight into some of those missions.
