International Humanitarian Projects
The Rotary Club of Courtenay has a rich history of humanitarian projects, undertaken to improve the quality of life and break the cycle of poverty around the globe.
Part of each year’s Fundraising proceeds are directed toward international humanitarian work. At any given time, we have 2-3 major projects underway; primarily projects in which we are actively involved and assume a leadership role.
We aspire to leverage our funds with grants from The Rotary Foundation, as well as partnerships with other Rotary Clubs, private foundations, and individuals.
Our work has spanned the globe: Haiti, India, Africa, Nepal. Projects have typically focused on water, sanitation, disease prevention/treatment, education, and economic development.
