Building Communities
Rotarians are passionate about providing sustainable solutions to poverty
800 million people live on less than $2.00 per day
795 million people do not have enough to eat
60% of the World's hungry are women and children
70% of the World's population live in rural areas and are dependent on agriculture to make a living
Rotarians and our foundation work to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.
