Land Ho! Rotary Partners With Mercy Ships
Mercy Ships and the Rotary Foundation from Rotary International on Vimeo.
Rotarians will help improve the delivery of vital health care services to West Africa through a new strategic partnership between The Rotary Foundation and the global charity Mercy Ships.
Through the partnership, the Foundation will offer packaged global grants for Rotary clubs and districts to assemble vocational training teams of medical professionals. These teams will perform or assist in life-changing surgeries. The Rotarian volunteers will also work to enhance the skills of local health care professionals.
The initial projects will take place in West Africa, the area of operations for the charity's 16,500-ton state-of-the-art hospital ship, Africa Mercy , now based in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
