Funding non-global grant Projects
Not every international project is large enough—or structured—to become a full Global Grant. But it can still make a big difference. There are two simple ways to support these projects:
Ask clubs that may not use their District Designated Fund (DDF) allocation to transfer their unused DDF to your project.
Ask your own club or other clubs to contribute cash to the project.
If you’d like your project posted, you can complete the template and send to George at gjp@tribecacom.com.

Guatemala Dental Module Equipment Replacement
This project aligns with Rotary’s Area of Focus: Disease Prevention and Treatment.
It will provide direct support to low-income Guatemalan children and families who rely on the three University of San Carlos community dental modules. The project addresses urgent needs such as replacing failing dental equipment that limits student dentists’ ability to deliver safe, high-quality services.
Project Description
The University of San Carlos operates three dental modules in the underserved communities of Chicacao, San Sebastián, and San Martín. These clinics are staffed by fifth-year dental students who complete community rotations as part of their training. The modules provide free dental services to school-age children, averaging 120– 130 patients per month.
Much of the equipment; dental chairs, compressors, sterilizers, and suction systems is outdated and frequently breaks down, reducing the clinics’ ability to serve patients safely and effectively. With 98% of Guatemalans suffering from dental caries or periodontal disease, reliable equipment is essential. This project will replace core dental equipment in all three modules, improving care quality, increasing patient capacity, and ensuring that access to oral healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
