District Foundation Committee 2022-2023 – Rotary International District 3450

By PDG Belinda Yeung, JP, Rotary Club of Hong Kong Harbour

October Is Economic & Community Development Month.

Economic & Community Development is one of The Rotary Foundation’s seven areas of focus. Rotary supports investments in people to create measurable and enduring economic improvement in their lives and communities. Focusing on generating income and creating opportunities for a productive workforce and entrepreneurship are essential for reducing poverty.

The Rotary Foundation enables Rotarians to invest in people by creating sustainable, measurable and long term economic improvements in their communities and livelihoods by :
1. Building the capacity of entrepreneurs, community leaders, local organizations, and community networks to support economic development in impoverished communities;

2. Developing opportunities for productive work;

3. Reducing poverty in under-served communities;

4. Supporting studies for career-minded professionals related to economic and community development.

Throughout October, we are celebrating our progress and commitment to helping grow local economies and communities. Let’s work hard to support the communities around the world through The Rotary Foundation!

Clubs in D3450 are encouraged to participate in Economic and Community Development projects. For more details, please contact TRF Program Team.

Rotary Showcase: Economic & Community Growth: Learn and Earn in Chennai

At KK Nagar, Rotary Clubs conducted a “Learn and Earn” program on the 17th August 2022 at KK Nagar. Women from difficult financial backgrounds were taught how to make Eco Friendly Products using Jute fabric and palm leaves. The women skilled themselves up by learning the craft of making bags, baskets, garlands and decorative items.

The workshop was supported by RC Chennai Prestige and participated by Rotary Chennai Bharathi, Rotary clubs of Chennai Dynamic, Chennai Kings, Chennai Legacy, Chennai Madhavaram & Chennai Perambur. Certificates were distributed to the 30 participants who went home with a newly acquired skill and feeling more confident and empowered.
