The Rotary Club of St. Vincent has launched its first major Global Grant-funded project in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment, with input from several Rotary Clubs in Taiwan across eleven Districts.
This Global Grant, funded by Rotary International with financial contributions from the Rotary Club of Taipei Prosperity, among others, was granted on June 30, 2022 in the amount of USD$183,183.00.
Through this two-part Grant funded project, the Rotary Club of St. Vincent and the Ministry of Health will implement an ongoing awareness and education campaign which extends beyond the traditional Breast Cancer awareness period in October, engaging the public to reduce the stigma associated with breast screenings.
Additionally, the Rotary Club of St. Vincent has purchased and will present to the Ministry of Health three mobile ultrasound screening units, which are expected to arrive in SVG by January 2023.
