The North Columbus Rotary Club is proud to continue its legacy of impactful international service through Rotary International’s Global Grant program. These projects address one or more of Rotary’s seven areas of focus and are carried out through collaboration between an international sponsor club and a host club in the project country, supported by funding from clubs, District Designated Funds (DDF), and The Rotary Foundation.

To date, North Columbus has successfully sponsored seven Global Grant projects totaling over $416,000 in funding. Notably, one project—GG1414886: Cancer Awareness and Vaccination Program among Rural Communities in Northwestern Bangladesh—was recognized as one of 20 noteworthy Rotary projects out of more than 11,000 globally at the 2017 Rotary International Convention in Atlanta.

This year, North Columbus Rotary is partnering with the Rotary Club of Biratnagar Downtown in Nepal to construct a modern and sustainable public sanitation facility in the city of Biratnagar. The facility will feature toilets with disability access, drinking water fountains, and a sanitation waste management system, all designed to serve a diverse and growing urban population with dignity and accessibility.

We welcome and encourage clubs across District 6900 to consider becoming donor clubs for this impactful global project.
