Rotarian Janie and Alumni 1210 member Merry set off on a sunny afternoon to pick up litter and do a tidy up around their local area - Rotary In Action
Our club is involved with Lend with Care; lending small amounts of money to individuals and small co-operatives, allowing them to be economically self sufficient.
Microfinance is usually aimed at the economically active poor and low-income people who have limited or no access to the services provided by formal financial intermediaries such as banks.
Since there are so few salaried work opportunities, they are usually self employed microentrepreneurs often working from home.
Typically, they operate small businesses such as grocery shops, market stalls, carpentry or other workshops. In rural areas they tend to focus on agriculture and raising livestock and poultry. Around two-thirds of microfinance clients worldwide are women.
Microfinance is not charity as the beneficiary repays the money. It focuses directly on helping poor people to work and become more self-sufficient.
MERCIA & MARCHES ROTARY
Planting trees in Newport - Shropshire
Students and Rotarians come together to plant 60 trees for Platinum Jubilee
Several students from Burton Borough School in Newport have been planting trees to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Newport and making history at the same time.
The project used land near Longford road in Newport and the students were supported by Rotarians from Newport Lite and Mercia & Marches clubs.
Rotarian Les Goodchild said he was keen to see Newport Lite working alongside Mercia and Marches to help improve the environment in Newport and especially keen to work alongside pupils from Burton Borough school.
