District 9750 Projects

 Our Projects

Project Dignity

The Rotary commitment to service began in 1907, when the Rotary Club of Chicago donated a horse to a preacher. The man's own horse had died, and because he was too poor to buy another one, he was unable to make the rounds of his churches and parishioners. 

A few weeks later, the club constructed Chicago's first public lavatory. With these inaugural projects, Rotary became the world's first service-club organization.

In our Centennial Year, the Rotary Club of Sydney Darling Harbour twinned with the Rotary Club of Calcutta Mid-town, India and together with the Sri Ramkrishna Ashram, commenced a project to build public lavatory's for local villagers in Kasthamahal, where none had existed previously.

The pictures below show the end result (click on photo to enlarge).

The people who are involved in this ambitious and worthwhile project are working very hard to promote a better life for those people in the developing world who are unable to escape the poverty trap.

It is our wish that the project aims are expanded beyond our fondest hopes and that it will have an impact at least in the Philippines. One day it might have an affect on other developing world nations, we can only hope.
