International Projects
The Modesto Rotary Club’s International Services Committee actively fulfills the mission of Rotary International to “advance international understanding, goodwill and peace.” The committee selects projects that positively impact the health, education, and welfare of people in other countries. Committee members actively leverage – via matching grants – funds raised to maximize project outcomes.
