Welcome to Rotary Hand Up
 
Hand Up is an association of members from various Rotary Clubs within District 6330. It was formed around 30 years ago with the goal of providing international humanitarian aid through the use of Global and District Grants by offering a helping hand to those less fortunate than ourselves.
 
Initially, Hand Up focused on water, economic and maternal health projects in Cameroon. Unfortunately, due to civil unrest and the unstable political climate, Hand Up has temporarily suspended operations in this part of Africa.
More recently, Hand Up has been implementing similar projects in Guatemala. (scroll down to see some recent project examples)
 
You can help by:
  • Joining our team. We typically meet every 2 months via Zoom to review project ideas and monitor the status of approved projects.
  • Asking your club to donate.
  • Making a personal donation to a project. These are eligible for a tax receipt and also count towards Paul Harris points.
  • Asking for a speaker from Hand Up to make a presentation to your club on the latest projects and opportunities to help.
 
We currently have 3 new projects, the Host Rotary club and Hand Up do the work, but we rely on financial assistance from clubs and individuals across D6330.  To make all 3 projects a reality, we need to raise $74,000 USD or $103,000 CAD by Nov 30, 2026.
 
We are confident that with YOUR support all three projects will move ahead
