some point, but many are not ready to join right now. How
can Rotarians create engaging programming and activities
that keep alumni connected to Rotary so they’re more likely
to become members when the time is right?
What if a project could be completed by the end of your next
club meeting? Learn how to design innovative activities that
are cost effective, time restrained, and beneficial to your
community. Harness your creativity and start thinking about
potential mini-projects that will engage your members and
leave them with a real sense of accomplishment at the end of
your meeting.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Rotary Egypt launched Egypt's first ever Nile floating hospital cruise ship on a 90-day journey on the Nile River to sail to Egypt's different cities and provinces between Aswan and Cairo.
The Floating Hospital has on board 20 specialized clinics, and investigative labs. The project has seen collaboration from pharmacists, general practitioners, specialists, technicians from all divisions of the medical school, nurses and workers.
The project, which targets the poorest areas of Upper and Lower Egypt, has also seen massive collaboration from different governmental and non-governmental institutions in Egypt, including the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Solidarity and a big number of nongovernmental organizations and companies.
This project started in 2009, and over 70 Rotary clubs across the US and Africa , and affiliate organizations in Zambia and Uganda are participating in anti-malaria projects. The RMP is based in Seattle and is managed by a Board of Directors composed of Rotarians from 7 different Rotary clubs.
Malaria has killed more people than any other disease in history. There are approximately 250 million cases, with nearly 435,000 deaths per year. More than 92% of those deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa, and more than 50% of those in children under the age of five.
Aligned with Rotary International’s Priority Focus Areas - Disease Prevention - with specific reference to malaria, as well as to Maternal and Child Health
1) Invests in anti-malaria projects alongside Rotary clubs
2) Brings strategic partners to Rotary projects
3) Campaigns for malaria eradication with Rotarian orgs such as Rotarians Against Malaria (RAM) and REMaRAG (Rotarian Action Group) & other key stakeholders (business, religious, etc.)
4) Supports national malaria elimination campaigns led by in-country Rotary club collaborations – RMP Zambia & RMP Uganda
Global Grant Phase One: $190K
Focus on education, vector control, medical care
83% malaria prevalence reduction from 50% to 5%
Global Grant Phase Two : $300K Underway
Training of Village Health Workers to:
detect any malaria resurgence with prompt treatment
demonstrate scalable model for highly endemic areas
Sustain reductions and drive to zero cases
We have supported two projects in NE Uganda. The first has been completed and demonstrated the best method to knock malaria down by 83% -- to less than 5% incidence. The second is now getting underway. Twenty six clubs in the U.S. and Africa are contributing partners to this Global Grant. It is designed to sustain the gains of Phase I, and drive the incidence toward zero malaria.
Both phases serve the same population : Kapujan, Toroma and Maguro sub-counties (50,000 people and 8,000 rural farm families)
Phase 1 was lead by RC Seattle #4 & Soroti Central RC/Uganda as lead sponsor clubs
In Phase 2, Village health workers Provide weekly household calls to detect resurgence with prompt treatment.
In Phase two, looking to sustain the reductions and drive to zero
26 U.S. and Ugandan Clubs signed onto the Global Grant in phase 2.

US Clubs are supporting and hosting these Global Grant Projects

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has shown strong confidence in the capability of Rotarians to lead civil society campaigns for malaria elimination by funding RMP’s advocacy and project initiatives as well as the collaborations of Rotary clubs in Zambia (RMPZ) and Uganda (RMPU). In addition, the Foundation has provided a fund to match $1 for $1, the contributions of Rotary clubs and districts to malaria control and elimination projects. PATH/MACEPA is an invaluable technical partner in Zambia, where World Vision has also worked with Rotarians.
Advocacy is a key part of RMP’s role – building awareness amongst Rotary clubs of the impact Rotary can have on this disease and obtaining their sponsorship and financial support for malaria control, prevention and elimination projects. Over 70 Rotary clubs worldwide have joined in RMP sponsored malaria projects; $1.5 million in funding has been invested so far in project benefiting 350,000 people.
