Stillwater Sunrise Rotary is proud to lead Crutches 4 Africa—a powerful District Grant project uniting Rotary clubs across our region in a mission to restore mobility and dignity to thousands of people in Africa. Our goal? To collect and ship at least 3,000 mobility devices—crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, and more—to individuals who are otherwise immobilized due to polio, age, or injury.
In partnership with the global nonprofit Crutches for Africa, we’re making sure these vital devices reach those who need them most, transforming lives and opening doors to independence, education, and opportunity.
But that’s not all—we’re also keeping these devices out of landfills, giving them a second life where they’re desperately needed. Since many local donation centers can’t accept these items, this project is also a win for the environment.
This initiative isn’t just about service—it’s about Rotary in action, engaging our community, and showing the world what “people of action” can do.
