Once again our hearts go out to those caught up in the natural disaster and we pray that Rotary Clubs worldwide are able to contribute to the recovery as needed.

Globally, 836 million people still live in extreme poverty today. About one in five persons in developing regions lives on less than $1.65 per day. Global unemployment has increased from 170 million in 2007 to nearly 202 million in 2012, of which about 75 million are young women and men.
By supporting projects that focus on generating income and creating productive employment opportunities, we can reduce poverty. Providing income security and empowering women, people with disabilities, youth, and the extremely poor is essential to economic and community development.
Rotarians worldwide are committed to reducing poverty through projects that provide people with equipment, vocational trainings, and work to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.
