Description
We are members of a global network of community volunteers. Eganville Rotarians are caring community minded people. Annually our club contributes about $40K towards helping our local and our global communities. This spans the spectrum of raising funds and collecting food for our community food bank to sponsoring our local scouting organization to helping finance a Healthcare clinic in Mukuru slums of Nairobi, Kenya.

Kenyan Update: Eganville Rotarians Alan and Mona reflect on their time in Nairobi. Full story at http://www.eganvillerotary.com/rotarians-at-imara-march-2017.html “ As we prepare to leave Kenya tonight we can look back on an intensive but highly productive 12 days in the country. We have launched an initiative to help the Imara Community Health Workers earn an income so that they can continue to volunteer to provide home based care to the elderly and infirm. We have mapped out a path to provide some support to the HIV mothers in the Women’s support Group. In addition to our initiatives at Imara, we have established relations with the National Book Development Council of Kenya and through them seen the beginnings of a school library at the Siloam School. We have also helped the school expand their egg and meat-bird operation to help them feed needy children. Our time with the Canada-India Friendship Delegation was interesting and we are hopeful that it might lead to additional funding partnerships as we seek additional support to purchase necessary additional equipment for Imara Centre’s Operating Room. Our time with the Delegation also enabled us to speak to Nairobi Rotary Clubs about our Imara Project and extend our network of Nairobi Rotarians. We have also cemented strong relations with the Rotary Club of Syokimau and look forward to collaborating with them on future projects. Finally, the glue that has held our work together is the exceptional hospitality of our hosts in Nairobi, Rotarian Isabella and her husband, Barrack. They have treated us like family. We’ve had lots of laughs and fun with them but they have also provided sound advice and an invaluable cultural context for our work. Our heart felt thanks to both of them.”

International Project, Nairobi, Kenya: Wednesday March 22nd, Eganville Rtns. Alan and Mona Fox visited two projects supported by Rotary Karen: The Karen Technical Institute for the Deaf and a Library and Sanitation project in the Kuwinda slum. The latter was particularly interesting. The library is a converted shipping container and is used for stocking the books and as well as a reading room. It has solar lighting and a solar panel on the roof. The Kuwinda slum is tiny compared with the expansive Mukuru kwa Njenga slum but is noticeable by the lack of garbage. Rotary Karen have installed garbage containers along the road through the slum and the community clean the street first thing every morning. for more on this project go to http://www.eganvillerotary.com/rotarians-at-imara-march-2017.html
