We are proud to announce a historic milestone for the RigeneraMI project and the entire Rotary family: the approval of a $35,000 Global Grant from the Rotary International Foundation.
This extraordinary recognition marks a historic event not only for the Rotaract Club Milano Sforza but also for Rotaract District 2041, Rotary District 2041, Italy, and all Rotary, Rotaract, and external volunteers who have contributed to this project so far.
Thanks to this funding, RigeneraMI will be able to expand its impact, increase the number of refurbished and donated devices, and continue reducing electronic waste and the digital divide, contributing to a more sustainable and inclusive world.
A Historic Event in the Rotaract World
With this achievement, Rotaract Milano Sforza becomes the first Rotaract club in Italy to secure a Global Grant as the leading club and one of the first Rotaract clubs worldwide to accomplish this.
This success is an international recognition of RigeneraMI's ongoing commitment to promoting environmental sustainability and digital inclusion.
Rotaract District 2041 and Rotary District 2041 once again affirm their leadership within the Rotary community, supporting and promoting high-impact and innovative projects.
The Global Grant will be a fundamental resource for enhancing the project’s infrastructure, improving logistics, and increasing the number of beneficiaries, allowing us to continue our mission with even greater strength and effectiveness.
