Country: Djibouti has a population of 956985 in 2017, relatively safe country and has two Rotary clubs.
 
Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, is a mostly French and Arabic-speaking country of dry shrublands, volcanic formations and Gulf of Aden beaches.  It's home to one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world, the low-lying Lake Assal, in the Danakil Desert.  The nomadic Afar people have settlements along Lake Abbe, a body of saltwater featuring chimneylike mineral formations.
 
Today we acknowledge one of these: the Rotary Club of Djibouti Mer Rouge (Red Sea)
 
The club meets at Shen Hotel Mondays 7.30pm 

A couple of the club's projects

On the occasion of the celebration of the international day of women's rights, the Rotary Club Djibouti Red Sea, has distributed kits of first necessity to women incarcerated in the prison of Gabode.  These were composed of dresses, shawls, shampoos, soaps, sanitary towels and cologne. The Club organised this action for the third time and emotion is always so strong, on both sides, during the meeting and exchange.  Officer Hibo who greeted us thanked us on behalf of the entire correctional institution for the action and asked us to multiply this kind of initiative. 

Blood Donation Days

As part of the prevention and treatment of diseases, the Club organised two days of blood donation, in collaboration with the blood transfusion centre of the Peltier hospital and the national gendarmerie.  The first day was reserved for members of the club and friends.  Then on the second day, we went to camp Sheikh Moussa, in pk23, where the lab team took the blood of the gendarmes.
 
Thank you to Mr. Houssein, director of the Peltier hospital, to Mr. Houssein Yonis and his team of the lab and Dr. Abdoularaouf who allowed this cooperation with the gendarmerie.  A big thank you also to the bakery le moulin that provided us with the pastries for these two days.  Thank you also to the team for their investment and to the friends who answered present to our call.
 
Don't forget... giving blood is saving lives..
