Not long ago, in a small health center in the village of Aaye in southwest Nigeria, a woman arrived in labor carrying twins. The facility was short-staffed. The nurse midwife in charge was not present. A community health worker stepped forward. She had participated in Together for Healthy Families in Nigeria, a Rotary Foundation Programs of Scale initiative. And though she was not formally trained as a midwife, she was equipped with essential emergency obstetric skills.
Message from The Pantry:
Aloha Rotary Club Team,
Mahalo nui loa for supporting our Monday, November 24th distribution! We are truly grateful for the time, energy, and aloha your members brought to The Pantry. Your teamwork helped make the day run smoothly, and your presence made such a meaningful impact.
Thanks to your help, we were able to serve:
• 98 households
• 367 individuals
We would absolutely love to have your group back in the future. If you're ever interested in organizing another volunteer day — whether monthly, quarterly, or simply whenever it works for your club — I’m more than happy to create a custom landing page just for your event. This makes it easy for everyone to register in one place and helps us keep your group together on the schedule.
I also want to mahalo you again for your patience yesterday and for all the support your team brought. We appreciate you more than you know and hope to welcome you back again soon.
Mahalo Nui!

The Rotary Club of West Honolulu celebrated our 75th Anniversary with almost 100 of our sister club members from Tokyo, Kyoto, Taipei, Makati, Hong Kong and Nagoya!
Rotary polio eradication project is our top priority. Rotary launched PolioPlus in 1985 and was a founding member of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988. Unless we eradicate polio, within 10 years, as many as 200,000 new cases could occur around the world each year. In the past few years, only two countries have reported cases of polio caused by the wild virus, but no child anywhere is safe until we’ve vaccinated every child. Polio anywhere is a threat everywhere. Please help us reach our club goal of $1,500 and donate to our fundraise to help to immunize 400 million children each year until Polio is eradicated from planet Earth. Until then, it is just a plane ride away from us. Click to donate
