These areas are also aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

WHAT IS A ROTARY DISTRICT ?
Rotary districts are geographical groupings of clubs led by a District Governor with supporting committees and assistant governors. They strengthen member clubs and promote collaborative service projects.
Our Rotary E-Club is part of District 7690 located in the heart of North Carolina, USA.
District grants fund smaller-scale, short-term projects that address immediate needs in your community or abroad.
Examples: community development projects, educational programs, health and wellness services, humanitarian efforts, and youth programs.
