Our members work to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.
Give now to promote economic growth in communities.
Wheelchairs for Kids
The Club has received a receipt and a "Thank you" for the $1,500 donation to 'Wheelchairs for Kids' Relief Fund.
The 'Wheelchairs for Kids' organisation was initiated and is managed by the Rotary Club of Scarborough. This financial support enables the organisation to continue building wheelchairs for disadvantaged disabled children in developing countries.
Giving these children the gift of mobility increases their ability to participate in community activities, especially attending school. Having a wheelchair can provide a disabled child with independance and relieve the pressure on their families.
