Rotary Club of Eleuthera (RCE) promotes Community Economic Development
Community Economic Development is Rotary’s theme during the month of October ad is vital to the sustainability of any Community. One of the major vehicles that drive Community Economic Development is Entrepreneurship.
In the past the Community of South Eleuthera has experienced the failure of large-scale development which left the Community and Economy in an undesirable state. However, with the recent surge in entrepreneurship and smaller businesses the Community’s Economy continues to get better.
The Rotary Club of Eleuthera membership has thirteen (13) out of twenty-five (25) members owning a business, this represents over fifty percent (50%) of the Club’s membership as Entrepreneurs. The Rotarian Entrepreneurs have contributed to the economic growth of the Communities of Eleuthera especially South Eleuthera Community where ten (10) of the thirteen (13) businesses are located and the economic hardships were felt the most. Over the years they have provided employment for many which has also helped improve the standard of living for them and their families; contributed to Local Community events; Healthcare, Education, Tourism, the Environment, Police and Law Enforcement and much more.
During the month of October members of the Rotary Club of Eleuthera (RCE), engaged in a Rotary Initiative, ‘Rotary Means Business’ by supporting the local businesses including those of their Rotary brothers and sisters through purchases that helped to generate income. The Rotarian-owned businesses include Retail, Electronics/IT, Hardware and Building Supplies, Consultancy, Construction & Development, Car & Property Rentals.
Members of the Rotary Club of Eleuthera will continue to make a positive difference in the Community Economic Development of their island.
