The Rosemoor Home for the Aged, a non-profit organization, was incorporated over 50 years to provide retirement accommodation and care for older citizens who cannot afford this service. The facility receives little support from the George Municipality and although the George Rotary Club has supported the facility for many years, it now needs some major overhaul to provide appropriate and more efficient care for the growing population in the home. this grant will:
1. Improve the availability of the constantly needed hot water for sanitation and hygiene by replacing the old, insufficient and inefficient system with a new heat pump system to be located where most needed. This will greatly increase the supply of hot water and provide an approximately 67% savings in electricity.
2. Improve the laundry system by replacing inadequate domestic machines with industrial grade, more efficient, washing machines and driers, connected to a rainwater source.
3. Installing a modern, efficient rainwater collection and distribution system.

This project needs to receive some pledges to go to the next level. Please check the "Financing" tab to see the list of current pledges.

DDF contributions in grey are pending approval of the corresponding district committee.
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%.
