RotaryNow!/Leading Change – Sustaining Our Impact
April 15, 2021 Thursday Evening at 7 pm PST
Rotary undertakes a huge variety of projects, and in all of them, a key focus is sustainability. We want the community in which the project is undertaken to be able to continue to receive the benefit of our work for the foreseeable future. In almost all of our projects, we take something into the community, whether it be a new well, a renovated school, vaccinations, microloans, electric ambulances, medical supplies…. But in a handful of projects, we help to train people to take knowledge and skills back into their communities. Training community members has huge implications in that the skills learned can be transferred to others in that community, and even to other communities. This “train the trainers” concept is the way Rotary can exponentially increase our impact.
Want to know more? Join us for a lively exploration with leaders of two very different projects that provide highly desired training, both here and overseas: Past District Governor Chuck Root of RC Medford Rogue and Susan Sygall of RC Eugene. Understand how to embed sustainability into your club’s next project.

April is Maternal & Child Health Month
Rotary makes high-quality health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer and grow stronger.
We expand access to quality care, so mothers and children everywhere can have the same opportunities for a healthy future. An estimated 5.9 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, inadequate health care, and poor sanitation — all of which can be prevented.
How Rotary makes help happen
Rotary provides education, immunizations, birth kits, and mobile health clinics. Women are taught how to prevent mother-to-infant HIV transmission, how to breast-feed, and how to protect themselves and their children from disease.
