COVID-19 has hit hard in Guatemala. The pandemic has exacerbated the shortage of food. PPE is very scarce.
Rotary Burlington North heard the call earlier this year. Funds were raised and a grant was secured. Over $11,000 was delivered to the Rotary Club in Chiquimula which allowed them to work with local government agencies and provide food and hygiene kits to those in need. Rotary - People of Action! (Oct 2020)
Burlington North has successfully secured a Rotary International grant to fund the construction of 175 new latrines in the village of Chiquimula, Guatemala. The project will help the community maintain health and sanitation. This initiative is more important than ever given the rise of COVID-19. (Aug, 2020)
We're so proud to donate an additional $90,000 to the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation to support their COVID19 response, bringing our total hospital donation to $275,000. Thank you to our Rotary volunteers, sponsors and participants in our Fundraisers - The Amazing Bed Race, Rotary Turkey Trot and the Rotary Online Auction!
