Projects
The Rotary Club of Crawley supports a variety of Causes through a range of fundraising and service activities.
Our 2010-2011 goal is to identify projects within the key areas of focus that provide valued assistance, deliver enduring positive outcomes, and utilise our members' skills.
The Club has project Principles and Processes that guide the Proposal, selection and support of projects. There is a Project Strategy and Review Team charged with helping the Club achieve the best possible choices and outcomes for the projects it supports. Members may make a Proposal for a project to be considered by the Club membership.

RC Crawley, RC Belmont, Be Kids (Joan Peters) and UWA UPDATE APRIL 2012: The Mama Shujaa project is going well and despite the competition next door, the women are looking at this in a positive light. The SIFE students from United States International University (Nairobi) are working with our women in consultation with the SIFE Students from UWA. We are pleased with the progress the women are making and their solidarity. UPDATE APRIL 2011: Two UWA students who are part of a international network called SIFE, have returned from two weeks in Korogocho with Be Kids director Joan Peters. They assisted 20 women develop their business skills through eight business sessions, particularly needs assessment, visioning, leadership and marketing. As a result it was determined that the women would prefer a mix of enterprises to be run in a cooperative manner. Only three of the 20 women will drive taxis (for an existing company), the remainder will be involved in three micro businesses; hairdressing salon, general store and fruit and vegetable stall. The women will also collectively mind each other's children. The name they have chosen for this enterprise is Mama Shujaa, which translated is warrior woman. |
