Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Philanthropy, Private Independent Foundations
Mission: To support the charitable efforts of the east chapel hill rotary club to improve the health and welfare of those in the chapel hill-carrboro community as well as the international community in the areas of focus of rotary international and in conjunction with other rotary clubs around the world.
Programs: Teachers supply store: this annual project creates a pop-up store where teachers in the chapel hill-carrboro public schools choose classroom supplies "paid for" by vouchers given to selected grade level faculty, alternating years between elementary teachers and middle school/high school teachers. This year 537 middle and high school teachers and other special teachers attended, benefitting indirectly over 7500 students.
nicaragua teeth and technology mission trip: besides providing free dental care to patients, primarily children, at the nueva vida clinic in cuidad sandino, nicaragua, we also installed dental equipment to remain in the clinic and trained local dental students to provide care throughout the year. The team also included a pediatrician and a surgeon to provide medical care this year. We also supplied computers to local primary schools and provided technology training to teachers.
bicycles for underprivileged children: in this annual project, we purchase and assemble bicycles that are distributed to low income families during the christmas house event. In 2017, 98 well-made youth bicycles and 108 helmets were given away. Each bike benefits several children within a family.
