Matching Grant #
58413 - Rotary District 3160 - India
Literacy, Health and Vocational Development Project
|
This is a multi-faceted project we've called "Literacy,
Health, and Vocational Development." Three Rotary clubs in District 3160
which are located nearby each other joined together and we combined
three different sub-projects into one larger one, to be able to utilize
the power of a Rotary Foundation Matching Grant.
Literacy
 |
75 desks to accommodate 150 students |
|
Girls Education - 2 pairs of uniforms, geometry
box, pens, pencils and notebooks for 250 girls |
Health
|
We constructed a toilet block at a Government Girls
Junior College serving 1,000 girls, who had no toilet facilities at
all. |
Vocational Development
|
9 silk weaving looms for poor women. They each
agree to train one additional woman each year in the craft of
silk-weaving. |
|
20 pushcarts for poor women who will be trained in
basic details of micro-business management. These carts are
typically used to sell fruit and vegetables or perhaps tea.
|
|
 |
The three D3160 clubs working together
as Project Clubs are the Rotary Clubs of Dharmavaram Midtown, Raichur,
and Sullurpet.
International partners are the Rotary
Club of Narre Warren, Victoria, Australia, D99820, as well as Missouri
District 6060 and Illinois District 6490 in the USA.
|
The various sponsoring Rotary Clubs and Rotary Districts, as well as
Our Rotary Foundation are funding this project with nearly US $22,500.
