Rotary Club: North County San Diego-Route 78 Project Title: Hope for Mtshabezi Clinic 1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place? Hope for Mtshabezi, a Non-Profit Organization that has been providing free health care to the medically under served people in South western part of Zimbabwe, has been granted permission by the Gwanda Rural Council and Gwanda Ministry of Health and Child care to build a clinic that will serve the population of the that area. They have been actively building a clinic since 2014, and construction started in 2018, and is now finishing up. The last thing the clinic needed was electricity. Due to it's remote nature, it has to use solar panels to provide that electricity. This grant to Hope for Mtshabezi was to help finance the cost of the panels. These panels were provided and installed by a local contractor. 2. How many people benefited from this project? Hundreds, if not thousands 3.
