Rotary eclub One

10/12/2026

October is Economic and Community Development Month for Rotary International. And, we, Rotary eClub One, have many members across the globe (in 23 countries to be exact!) who not only support club sponsored initiatives, but they also have personal projects as well. We have one member in our eClub who's directing a large GG project (2695641) Chris Roesel, and he's a member of WASHRAG and RAGCED, and Rotarians Against Malaria.

We wanted to highlight the Rotary Action Group for Community Economic Development and the work they are doing that helps Rotarians plan, implement, and manage impactful and sustainable economic development projects and create lasting change in poor and underserved communities.

October is Economic and Community Development month for Rotary International. Nearly 800 million people live on less than $1.90 a day. Rotary members are passionate about providing sustainable solutions to poverty. This month emphasizes the importance of access to jobs, entrepreneurship, and resources in transforming lives and reducing poverty on both community and global levels.

With Rotary eclub One being a truly global eClub, and members all over the world (23 countries so far!) – we have members who donate their time, efforts, and funds to projects near and dear to their hearts.

Members are encouraged to pursue service projects they are passionate about while also participating in larger club-supported initiatives.. One such individual project is supporting the larger Rotary Pakistan Smart Villages initiative, led by Rotary Pakistan. One of our very own eClub One members has connection to and has supported part of a smaller, two village cluster in Pakistan. He has donated land for these two villages, and so far 150 homes have been built on the donated land using simple, sustainable materials.

Our club member has noted that upcoming additions of “telemedicine facilities and a reverse osmosis water supply are planned, and will be implemented soon.” Thank you for sharing information about these amazing projects happening in Pakistan!

OCTOBER IS ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MONTH for Rotary International

Rotary supports investments in people to create measurable and enduring economic improvement in their lives and communities.

The Rotary Foundation enables Rotarians to invest in people by creating sustainable, measurable, and long-term economic improvements in their communities and livelihoods by:

1. Building the capacity of entrepreneurs, community leaders, local organizations, and community networks to support economic development in impoverished communities;
2. Developing opportunities for productive work;
3. Reducing poverty in under-served communities;
4. Supporting studies for career-minded professionals related to economic and community development.

When we think about education, we often think of schools, teachers, and students. But education also means raising awareness about organizations that create positive change. By sharing the story of our Rotary club, we help others learn about community service, fellowship, and the many ways Rotary improves lives locally and around the world.

This September, as we wrap up Basic Education and Literacy month with Rotary International, Rotary eclub One in Rotary District 5450 would like to recognize one of our very own eClub Rotarians that visited two Rotary Clubs, Gravenhage Oost, and Rotterdam Noord, in the Netherlands. Rotary District 1600 Zuid Holland Also while traveling, he visited Wurzburg, Germany and was able to present to their Rotary Club in as well. https://wuerzburg.rotary.de/

Mr. Isaac Arulappan from India, has been a long time Rotarian with eClub One, and visited the areas earlier in September. He had a chance to educate other Rotarians about our eClub, our history, our service projects, and our members across the globe. Thank you Isaac for sharing your photos and about your visits!

One of our most well known activities for other Rotarians is our meeting "Make Up" program. We hope to serve any Rotarian who might need to turn in a “missed attendance” at their local meeting! Head to the website noted in our bio, and the “Make Ups” tab. This is one of our main activities the club has offered for more than 20 years. Hope we can be of service to you!

Celebrating our 25th year as the very first established eClub with Rotary International! This month is Basic Literacy and Education month, and we have another fantastic example of what Rotarians can do to help those in need all over the world. Recently in the past year, we were involved in a "Twin Club" partnership between Rotary eclub One (D5450, USA) and (D3410, Indonesia). We helped support ~80 orphans and underprivileged students in Depok. Funded by eClub One and managed locally by RCJC, the project enhances education through essential supplies.

Our support to these students in Depok helped to bridge critical resource gaps, and empowered deserving children with the dignity and tools needed for a brighter future. The goal has been to remove educational barriers, build confidence, and empower each student to succeed.

September is "Basic Literacy and Education" month for Rotary International. As we all know, Literacy comes in many forms. One area of Literacy is our physical health and emotional well being. One of Rotary eclub One's partners is Jifunze International in Kenya. Program sessions with young people include positive lifestyle choices, career opportunities, healthy eating, physical education, personal safety, positive relationships, substance use, money management, sporting activites, first aid and arranging mentorship opportunities. Each of the facilitators are sourced from suitably qualified and experienced leaders.

Recently Jifunze hosted a training program for the young men in their program: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18QYQENtQt/
