SUMMIT IN HONDURAS
Summit in Honduras is a humanitarian 501c3 non-profit working to improve health and education in remote mountain villages in Northwestern Honduras. In conjunction with the Rotary in Santa Barbara, Honduras, we have built three schools and are currently working on a fourth. We are also working with a local clinic to bring medical teams both to said clinic and to neighboring villages.
Summit Rotary shares the dream of ensuring that people’s lives are not governed or defined by poverty, that medical care is accessible, that water is clean and plentiful, and that every child has the opportunity to pursue an education.

SHELTER BOX PROJECT
Twelve years ago, a Rotarian spotted a gap in aid provision following natural disasters. While food and medicine were immediately delivered, little to no assistance went directly to sheltering survivors and helping them through the first few days, weeks, and months as they struggled to rebuild their lives. Shelter Box was launched to fill that void, providing shelter, warmth, and (in effect) dignity to disaster survivors around the world.
Each Shelter Box provides a tent for a family of up to 10 people, a stove, cooking and eating utensils, tools, a water purification system, bedding, protective materials such as state of the art mosquito netting and a pack of children’s books, pencils and crayons.
