Did you know that we . . . you and I . . . are changing lives all over the world? That’s right, we’ve helped rebuild homes destroyed by hurricanes, we’ve given some remote people solar powered lights so they can see at night, we’ve helped give people in Zambia clean drinking water, we’re giving Polio vaccinations to youngsters on the other side of the world and we (you and I) even have a seat at the United Nations.
Since 2003 Lincoln Rotary District 5650 has collaborated with The Livingstone Rotary Club in Southern Province Zambia and the Rotary Foundation to improve the lives of villagers in Zambia through the Zambia-Lincoln Nutrition Project. The project works with local partners to end child malnutrition through peer nutrition coaching, agricultural innovation, and access to clean water.
