My TRF Story

By Linda Marion Malinga Schuster

1. What Motivated you to Give to The Rotary Foundation?

During my first Rotary meeting as a guest, I was deeply moved by the project to construct a surgical unit at Luzira Prisons hospital. The video depicting the plight of expectant mothers touched me, and it became a compelling reason for me to join Rotary. Additionally, learning about how even a modest contribution, as little as 10,000 shillings, can make a significant impact in providing books to a child, made me realize the power of giving. As someone fortunate enough to live a decent life, I see it as my responsibility to share my blessings and alleviate the burden of others.

2. Why is it Immportant for you to give?

Giving is of great importance to me because I believe we cannot coexist in a society where our fellow humans, our neighbors, are in need without extending a helping hand. It is also a way for me to express gratitude for the blessings in my life.

3. What do you Hope your Contribution Will Allow the Foundation Archieve?

With my contribution, I hope to change a life or, at the very least, offer hope and encouragement to someone in need. I want to inspire them to have faith in their own abilities and empower them to thrive, ultimately creating a positive ripple effect that can change the lives of others.

By giving to The Rotary Foundation, I aspire to make a meaningful difference and play a part in building a better world for those who are less fortunate.
