A significant philanthropic contribution of US$20,000 has been made by the Mill Reef Fund to the Rotary Club of Antigua, providing substantial support for two crucial community health initiatives. The generous donation will directly fund the acquisition of vital medical equipment through the Bed At Home and Wheelchair Project programs.
This financial injection will enable the procurement of specialized hospital beds and mobility-assist wheelchairs for vulnerable community members facing health challenges with limited resources. The equipment is expected to dramatically enhance patient comfort, mobility, and overall quality of care while preserving dignity for recipients.
Ms. Helene van Beuren, Chair of the Mill Reef Fund, formally presented the donation while emphasizing the Fund’s ongoing dedication to supporting community projects that deliver measurable, positive impact. This partnership represents a shared commitment between organizations to implement practical solutions that address critical healthcare needs in the region.
The collaborative effort underscores the importance of strategic alliances in addressing community health disparities. Through the Bed At Home and Wheelchair Project, the Rotary Club of Antigua continues to expand its outreach to those most in need, ensuring that essential medical resources reach households that would otherwise lack access to proper care equipment.
President Elisa Graham of the Rotary Club of Antigua expressed profound gratitude for the Mill Reef Fund’s sustained confidence and support, highlighting how this contribution will directly transform the living conditions and care standards for beneficiaries throughout Antigua and Barbuda. The donation reinforces the growing network of community partnerships working to improve health outcomes across the region.
