We are completing this project! [See below for project outlines.]  We've built nine (9) Microflush toilet blocks at eight schools.  The final two boreholes are being drilled this week.  A sign will be located at each school and each new well funded by this project. One of the elementary schools is in Domeabra which means "You've got to love me to come this far to see me!" We appreciate your continued support. The toilet blocks will make a big difference. The biggest achievement is that men and women in universities and young professionals from Ghana, Turkey, and America who have worked together to make this project successful.


Project outline reminder: Global Grant 24-60049, Water and Sanitation with Economic Impact in Ghana will drill 36 new wells including 8 small-town water systems and build 376 composting Microflush toilets for communities. We will administer micro-credit loans for wells and household toilets. 20 farmers and small businesses shall receive lending support to boost their business. This will improve the economic strength of our communities. The budget is $190,000.  This project is jointly hosted by Rotary Clubs of Obuasi and Kumasi in District 9104 in Ghana. The lead Rotary Club is Obuasi. Our team will impact 37,994 lives.  This partnership will also strengthen relations between Rotarians across the world.
 

The children in the Early Act Club at A.S. Rhodes Elementary School completed 100 hygiene care packages at their March meeting. These packages will be given to the local Salvation Army to help families in need.

Coins for Alzheimer's Research Trust (CART) continues to make a significant impact within our Rotary District 7570, which encompasses clubs in Virginia and Tennessee. CART is dedicated to funding cutting-edge Alzheimer's disease research through voluntary contributions from Rotarians. Notably, 100% of donated funds go directly to research efforts.
?
Individual clubs within the district have demonstrated remarkable commitment. For instance, many clubs integrate CART contributions into their annual donation goals, facilitating member donations through their website. Other Rotary Clubs throughout the district have actively participated in CART fundraising efforts as well.

The district promotes the use of 'Blue Buckets' during meetings for collecting coins, cash, and checks, which are then deposited monthly to CART.  To further support CART, members and supporters can donate through the CART portal at www.mycartfund.org.

Through these collective efforts, Rotary District 7570 exemplifies a steadfast commitment to advancing Alzheimer's research and working towards a cure. For more information on CART, please contact Milton Carter, Kingsport Downtown Rotary Club, at [email protected].
