The Rotary Foundation and Rotary clubs are helping communities battered by severe weather and earthquakes.
“The power of Rotary is in the Foundation's ability to pull help from around the world while local clubs provide immediate relief in their own communities,” says Don Mebus of the Rotary Club of Arlington, Texas.
Two powerful earthquakes hit Mexico, destroying buildings and highways, and killing hundreds of people. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria have caused billions of dollars in damage.
Torrential rain and mudslides have caused extensive damage in Sierra Leone, Bangladesh, India, and Nepal.
Rotary's partner, ShelterBox, is providing support to families displaced by the storms.
