Gift of Life in India - DELHI NCR (National Capital Region)
This project aims to arrange open heart surgery, free of cost to beneficiary i.e. economically disadvantaged children up to the age of 14 years, suffering from congenital heart diseases, who cannot afford the cost of open heart surgery to cure their heart disease in order to enable them to pursue studies and lead quality life thereafter. By saving one life in one family, Rotary is helping the entire family. In fact, it reduces the burden of entire local community. After surgery, the child can lead normal quality life and therefore this future citizen will contribute to community and promote the economic and social interests of family and community. “Gift of Life” aspires to give quality lives to children suffering from heart ailments, with this proposed Global grant project, by arranging heart surgery at Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital in New Delhi. Secondly, Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital is adjoining a Children’s Hospital called Chacha Nehru Hospital which has paediatric Cardiologists who will be seeing Children regularly in their OPD department. Both these hospitals are Delhi Govt. Hospitals. In addition, we plan to conduct Heart Camps outside Delhi as well and arrange the children to be shifted to RGSSH for the requisite Surgery.

Biogas Project Kenya - Kenya
The nature and biodiversity surrounding small rural communities and households in Nakuru Kenya is being destroyed by the relentless need to collect firewood for cooking. The use of traditional three-stone fires for cooking contributes to high levels of indoor air pollution, adversely affecting health particularly of the women and children. This contributes to the death of 21,500 people in Kenya each year. Children under 5 are badly affected.
90% of rural Kenyan households still cook with wood fires. Rural families around Nakuru typically have livestock and animal dung. Cows can come to the rescue. Cow dung can easily be converted to natural gas for cooking. Other biomass and animal dung can be used but cow dung is the best.
Once operating, the Biogas unit utilizes the animal dung to produce a clean renewable fuel for cooking. The biogas by-products can be used as fertilizer for a kitchen garden or farming.

Chris Roesel - Ruhoko A and B and Kabwera B of Nakivale refugee center in Uganda
Ruhoko A and B and Kabwera B of Nakivale refugee center in Uganda have 3836 people and 527 households that lack latrines. I offered a collaborator in Uganda, Mystery Gorilla Foundation, to pay for up to 3 wells in each village if they would complete latrines and handwashing stations for each household. I have paid for the malaria program but not the latrine one. The cost of the latrines is estimated at $10,405.29. The community and Mystery Gorilla will contribute $1104. P2P Inc., Chris' non-profit, will contribute $6556. eClubOne is requested to add $3000. The result of this, combined with filters, latrines, handwashing stations and the wells, is expected to be an almost elimination of diarrhea in these refugee villages, per results in past projects.

Kariobangi Food Kitchen and Youth support centre. -
Over the last 2 years, Rotary E Club One and Tai Sang Giving Back has partnered with Jifunze International to offer lunch to street children on the boarder of Kariobangi and Korochoco in Nariobi. This project has provided young people with lunch three times per week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Here local group leaders are talking to the boys and offering them alternative options to street life and crime. Since the beginning of the program the boys use of substances has reduced, this was prevalent due to their hungry state, however we now see a reduction in the crime rate in the community which has resulted in a safer environment for those living and working there. All of this has been recognised by the Chief.
Since the start of the program some of the boys have found alternative living conditions and have in some cases rented homes for themselves.
As you can see from the above pictures the conditions are poor with cooking done over an open fire. The long-term health effects of this are concerning. The water source comes from a tap with no sink and so buckets on the ground is used for water collection. The space has no electricity, storage, or seating.
The boys eat outside in the elements, all the food is purchased from the market.

School Bags for Underprivileged Students in Malaysia - Malaysia
Dear Rotary eClub One Members,
I am excited to introduce you to a meaningful humanitarian project spearheaded by the Rotary Clubs of Malaysia (YKKRM: Yayasan Kelab-Kelab Rotary Malaysia or The Foundation of the Rotary Clubs of Malaysia). This project has the potential to involve approximately 100 Rotary clubs in Malaysia.
One of the key requirements for us to participate in this incredible opportunity is a minimum club contribution of $250. This contribution will solidify our club's status as a participant in this noble initiative.
To make our entry into this project smoother and more inclusive, I propose that we share the initial amount required, specifically the $250, among our club members. I am personally committed to contributing $50 towards this amount. The remaining $200 will be divided among the other members, reducing the financial burden on individual participants.
By collectively contributing, we will make this endeavor our club's project. If the club accepts this proposal, I am more than willing to take the lead in representing us and distributing school bags to underprivileged students in schools that will be confirmed in due course.
It's important to note that the previously mentioned $250 is the minimum contribution, and any amount above this would be equally appreciated and put to good use in this endeavor.
