District grants serve as a vital source of support for small-scale, short-term initiatives that address local community needs, and in certain cases, extend assistance to communities abroad. Each district, as per its unique set of priorities, selects the specific projects and activities that these grants will fund.

What Do District Grants Support?

District grants contribute to a diverse range of district and club endeavors, which encompass the following:
- Humanitarian projects, which encompass service travel and disaster recovery efforts.
- Scholarships, spanning a broad spectrum of educational pursuits with regard to level, duration, geographic location, and field of study.
- Youth programs, fostering the development and empowerment of the next generation, including Rotary Youth Exchange, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), Rotaract, and Interact.
- Vocational training teams, which comprise groups of professionals traveling abroad either to impart knowledge to local professionals in their field or to expand their own expertise in that particular domain.

In celebrating these exceptional achievements, we acknowledge the remarkable impact that Rotary Clubs and District Grants have on the well-being and development of our communities, both locally and globally. The commitment to service and the pursuit of noble causes exemplified by these clubs and individuals is a testament to the enduring spirit of Rotary.

Rotary District 3870 Walk to End Polio: A Bolder Step Towards a Polio-Free World

In an exciting twist on tradition, Rotary International District 3870 embarked on a unique journey to make a difference. This year, the goal was clear: "WALK TO END POLIO." With a refreshing approach, they aimed to spread awareness about the urgent need to eradicate polio globally.

The mission of this remarkable event was to ensure that their awareness efforts to "End Polio Now" reached the widest possible audience. Polio, a once-deadly disease, is now on the brink of being completely eradicated. Rotary International has been a key player in this monumental effort, and District 3870 wanted to make sure their message resonated far and wide.

This inspiring event took place in and around Limketkai Center, at 3:00 PM on October 21, 2023, Saturday. The location was chosen to engage the community and maximize participation.

Among the participants, the Rotary Club of East Urban - Cagayan de Oro (RCEU) headed by Pres Bing Dacudao
emerged as a force to be reckoned with. They not only joined the event in full force but also set a remarkable record by having the highest number of attendees. Their dedication was duly recognized as they were presented with an award, a testament to their unwavering commitment to the cause. RCEU's impressive achievement was rewarded with a generous prize of Php10,000 from the District Governor Gilda "Gigi" Go but the real reward lies in the progress made toward a polio-free world.

Rotary District 3870's "WALK TO END POLIO" event was a reminder of the incredible impact that dedicated individuals and organizations can make when they come together. The fight to end polio continues, and with events like these, the vision of a world free from this disease draws nearer with each step taken.
