Foundation Thought

This week’s Foundation Thought is about...

Matching Grant partnerships.

Two Rotarians met on Facebook, which resulted in 10 Rotary clubs in two countries completing a Rotary Foundation Matching Grant.

Rotary clubs in India and the United States joined in a Matching Grant to install water purification systems in eight schools, benefiting almost 6,000 students.

Grant funds were used to purchase and install the water purifiers in each school.

This project provides clean water to the students, many of them with no previous access to clean water, resulting in fewer cases of waterborne illnesses.

Rotarians have seen the students‘ interest in learning and school attendance improve, as well as their sense of self-worth.

President's Thought for the week

Demosthenes.
