Partners Around the World
This project is possible only through the generous leadership and support of a variety of individuals and organizations around the world. In particular, this initiative first conceived by members of Rotary clubs in Kenya and the United States. As interest grew and the project expanded, additional partners joined our cause. Below is a brief discussion of Rotary International and our partners with links to their websites.
