A $1,000 contribution to The Rotary Foundation pays for the materials needed to build a deep bore well in India that will supply clean drinking water to more than 300 people. It provides materials to treat and prevent parasites and anemia in children in Brazil or pays for a tree nursery in Jamaica that will help 700 farmers increase their income. It can provide a cow and animal husbandry training to a woman in Uganda, where children often don't get enough protein and calcium. It can pay for the polio vaccine for 2,000 children in Nigeria or provide $50 microloans that allow 20 women in Nicaragua to start businesses.
