OUR LOCAL PROJECTS & INITIATIVES


The Bowery Mission

The Bowery Mission focuses on meals, shelter & services and has served homeless and hungry New Yorkers since 1879, when its neighborhood came to define the term “skid row.”

Their children’s programs, called Kids With A Promise, serves at-risk youth and began in 1894 by giving the children of recent immigrants the chance to escape the tenements in the summer.

Since our club’s original charter, our members have collected goods, provide meal services, and support e.g. emergency relief efforts.


Coalition for the Homeless

One evening per month, New York members of the Rotary E-Club of Wall Street New York come together to man a Coalition for the Homeless Food Van.

Together, we distribute the items we’re gathering during our monthly collections at club meetings. For example – socks, hats, gloves, or candy bars. Volunteer dates are typically the last Monday of the month. Check our calendar online for specific dates.


Nazareth Housing

Each year, our Rotary E-Club of Wall Street members volunteer at the Nazareth Housing holiday party for families working to overcome barriers to safe and secure housing. Our members serve food, work at craft tables, and help Santa (a fellow member) deliver toys that we collect for the children at the party!


OUR GLOBAL PROJECTS & INITIATIVES


“Ecole Communautaire Lumière de Jésus”

The Rotary E-Club of Wall Street has a longstanding, fruitful, relationship with the local community members and Rotary Clubs of Haiti that transcends borders.
Haiti is currently experiencing significant instability and insecurity, which profoundly impacts the population, particularly the youth, affecting their lives and future prospects.

Our involvement with this beautiful country started with the Haiti Entrepreneurship Camp and has since led to other initiatives like responding to Hurricane Matthew, supporting orphanages, partnering with Haitian entrepreneurs to protect vulnerable communities around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic and has led to multiple initiatives around ECLUJE.

Ecole Communautaire Lumière de Jésus (ECLUJE) is a community school that educates children in need completely free of charge, in a suburb named Audan in Port-au-Prince (Haiti). The school was founded in September 2010 after the violent seism, as a response to the critical economic situation of some poor parents that couldn’t provide education to their children. Every year the school serves more than 60 students free of charge from different communities around Audan. Each school year more than 10 students from the school go to secondary education.

Through common efforts with local supporters, a Canadian NGO, as well as other Rotary Clubs worldwide, the Rotary E-Club of Wall Street has raised >$25,000 towards the construction of a building for a primary school in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and keeps up activities to further enhance the building and community offers.
