Appeal: Philanthropy With The Rotary Club Of Bombay

OUR MUSICAL fund-raiser, with Bollywood’s most sought-after vocalist Sonu Nigam on August 27, 2019 at the Tata Theatre, NCPA, offers you a unique opportunity to support one of India’s premier service institutions – Rotary Club
of Bombay (RCB).

Come join some of the country’s most illustrious philanthropists, Rajashree Birla, Ajay Piramal, Adi Godrej and Deepak Parekh, to name a few, who have joined hands with RCB in our various and dedicated community service projects, such as literacy, water conservation, women empowerment, healthcare, conservation and restoration of our urban heritage and solar power. Since 1929, the Rotary Club of Bombay has impacted the lives of over a million deserving people.

AJIT DESHPANDE MEDICAL CENTRE (ADMC) provides completely free healthcare to adivasis and farmers in the Dahanu area, two hours outside Mumbai. RCB plans to open a maternal and childcare ward (Project Matr – Shishu Seva) and a prevention of disease and education centre (Project Arogya).

BHAVISHYA YAAN (BY): One of RCB’s most lauded and successful projects over the past 10 years, BY has benefited thousands of children. Speak to any child in the six Municipal Schools across Mumbai and they will tell you the hope and joy this literacy programme has brought them. BY provides after-school computer and English language skills to under-privileged children, dozens of whom have gone on to post-graduation degrees.

ENVIRONMENT: RCB proposes to set up an Integrated Village Development in Gumbadpada-Mokhada by setting up an 8KW Solar Hub to lift 300 litre of water per minute, storing the same in two 5000 litre tanks, to serve the village’s irrigation needs and provide safe drinking water. We also propose to transform a dumping ground at the Dongri Children’s Home into a vegetable garden to provide additional 150 kg per month of fresh organic vegetables.

RCB is unique in that every rupee donated is used solely towards the intended projects; RCB members bear all the administrative costs. We invite you to support our worthy causes by booking an advertisement in our souvenir, to be released at the event.
