INTERNATIONAL SERVICE

The Orange Club mainly has focused primarily on two international activates in recent years – supporting the Nambale Magnet School, a private magnet school in westernmost Kenya and providing funds to support a Gift of Life program in the Dominican Republic that subsidizes pediatric heart surgeries, enlisting volunteer surgeons, nurses, and other professionals from our region. Both projects started with local club member ties to clubs in these nations.

Recent collaborative projects with other clubs from the greater New Haven region have supported projects expanding a multi-language community library in central Kenya, as well as water supply projects in Nepal and other settings in Kenya. International projects link local Connecticut clubs with those in other countries, and receive matching funds from Rotary International
