In additional to our local service projects, Rotary del Sol is also active in helping  those in need throughout the world.   .

In conjuction with our "twin club in San Felipe, Mexico, Rotary del Sol has provided scholarships for numerous children who otherwise would not be able to continue their education past sixth grade. Rotary del Sol is honored to have received a $5,000 matching grant from The Rotary Foundation to support this program. This grant will allow Rotary del Sol and Rotary San Felipe to double the number of students who can receive scholarships. For more information on the Rotary del Sol's grant, please visit  http://www.MatchingGrants.org/grant1116.html

Unsafe drinking water, dysentery and illiteracy are some of the biggest problems facing children in poorer countries around the globe.  Think of how often we have a drink of water without a second thought to dysentery!  Rotary del Sol will partner with a Rotary Club in Vapi India to build a school girls hostel, sanitation systems and fresh-water well for a village in a very poor and remote area in northwestern India.

In conjuction with our fellow Rotarians in the "evening club" of Coto de Caza/RSM, their twin club in Tecate, Mexico and with financial support from The Rotary Foundation, we have provided much needed equipment and supplies for a new Rotary built emergency clinic serving a large and previously under-serviced area of nothern Baja California.

The worldwide eradicationof crippling polio is in its final and most difficult stage.  Last year, our club, and its supporters contributed over $10,000 to The Rotary Foundation in support of this very important effort.

Last year, with the assistance of the Free Wheelchair Mission, we constructed and assembled wheelchairs to assist crippled children and adults who live in third world countries - like India.  Hundreds of wheelchairs were delivered via a cargo to the aid of many children and adults who may not otherwise have had this much needed tool to help them get around and perform every day tasks.
