Project Description

Region: Central America

Country: Panamá

Location: Aguadulce

Total Budget: $42,134

Area of Focus: None



Section 1: Project Objective

To condition and equip the Health Promotion Center of Aguadulce for various activities through a comprehensive training program that includes technical training in sewing, electricity, baking, waiter, bartender, welding, as well as in plastic arts, crafts, handicrafts, sports training, dance, musical or instrumental activities, and health promotion events; helping to form a community with economic independence, healthier and more resilient.

Section 2: Assessment of the needs

The Rotary Club received an invitation for a meeting from the technical and administrative staff of the Health Promotion Center of Aguadulce to explain the current situation and request help to improve the infrastructure and equipment. Several approaches were made with personnel knowledgeable about the situation. A needs assessment and an estimated budget were carried out. As a result: the place requires functional spaces and improved accessibility for people with disabilities, as it is a center used to meet health care and continuous training needs, and therefore also requires equipment and an innovative training plan. Currently, the center has outdated furniture and its physical conditions are in poor condition; however, it is still used by community groups, so the first phase of our intervention has already begun, following an agreement with the directors of these facilities and local authorities.

Section 3: Project Design

The project will be developed in 3 stages:

Stage I: Infrastructure maintenance work to repair the roof, ceiling, electrical system, lighting, existing doors, and purchase and installation of 2 high-capacity split air conditioners in the main room. In process...

Stage II: Purchase, replacement, and installation of materials to adapt the infrastructure of consulting rooms, meeting rooms, workshop rooms, main activity room, bathrooms, and kitchen, including painting walls, PVC ceiling, LED lighting, furniture or kitchen cabinets, tiles, floor polishing, wooden and glass doors.

Stage III: Equipment for consulting rooms, meeting rooms, workshop rooms, main activity room, bathrooms, and kitchen, including refrigerator, built-in electric stove, blender, electric oven, sink, reception chairs, waiting chairs, folding tables, meeting table,

ergonomic chairs, sewing machines, data show, security camera, smart TV, lockers, mirrors, roller eclipse curtains, lower capacity split air conditioners, retractable built-in screen.

Section 4: Beneficiaries

Community visitors: Groups from other districts or provinces for training.

Community organizations: Committees, foundations, associations, clubs, groups, academies, cooperatives.

At least 25 groups of 10 direct beneficiaries will be trained or in training, according to the different training or promotion activities.

Note: as of July 1, 2015 there is a 5% additional support fee for cash contributions. This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
