We partner with communities in rural Nicaragua to build new schools, create community water systems, and improve sanitation.

In rural Nicaragua, 1.8 million people live without access to safe water and 1.6 million do not have access to even basic sanitation facilities. Project Schoolhouse works with communities that have identified both the problems they want to solve and the solutions to fix them. Our purpose is to facilitate projects that have real grassroots support and local buy-in that result in sustainable progress. By tackling education, water, and sanitation issues simultaneously we help communities achieve more complete solutions to complex problems.

HeartGift provides life-saving heart surgeries to children around the world with congenital heart defects in the United States, Asia, Africa, and South America.

The children we serve need just one surgery but it’s not available where they live.
Dedicated pediatric hospitals, talented surgeons, and medical staff who donate their time and talents, as well as a diverse network of sponsors and volunteers, make HeartGift’s hundreds of free procedures possible.

Each member of your group is required to create an account and sign up into your group reservation before arriving for your volunteer shift.  They can do this easily through your group’s unique link here: http://southaustinrotaryclub.cafb.volunteerhub.com/.

Please have your group members sign up into your reservation at least 7 days ahead so we have time to release the spots to the public if you don’t fill them. We will release any of your unfilled spots to the public for the October shift on 10/28 and for the December shift on 12/2.

Upon registering, your volunteers will receive the info below and more via a confirmation and a reminder email. Please encourage them to read those emails and consider emphasizing this info in your communications to them as well:

1. For safety reasons, volunteers who arrive more than 30 minutes late will not be allowed to join their group for the shift. If you think you may need to arrive late or leave early, please find a different shift that you can fully attend. We recommend arriving 5-10 minutes early so volunteers have time to check in and be ready to start.
2. Volunteers are required to wear a shirt with sleeves that cover the underarm and closed-toe shoes.
3. Volunteers must meet our volunteer eligibility requirements listed here in order to participate in the volunteer shift. We will verbally confirm these eligibility requirements with participants onsite.
