This update was provided by Savanna Wilson of Revolved, a non-government organization working throughout the world. Revolved exists to strengthen promising work in overlooked places. They invest in community leaders around the world who are quietly making a difference and offer the support that unlocks their full potential.
Thanks to the generosity of the Rotary Club of Edina, Chisizya Hospital in rural Zimbabwe is now a little brighter and better equipped to serve its community. This August, the Club’s support helped install solar lighting around the hospital, improving safety and access, particularly during nighttime emergencies. Rotary Edina also provided a comprehensive toolkit for Knowledge, the man who takes care of maintenance at the hospital, giving the local team the ability to make repairs and care for the facility long into the future. For a small rural hospital serving thousands of people, these practical improvements make an enormous difference. Knowledge couldn’t have been prouder of his new tools, and the Chisizya community is incredibly grateful. Thank you, Rotary Club of Edina, for making this possible.
A huge thank you from all of us, and from the Chisizya community, for your generosity and support.
Many thanks,
Savanna
The Edina Rotary Club provided a $6,000 grant to Revolved in December of 2025 for the Chisizya Hospital in rural Zimbabwe. You can learn more about this project here. Savanna will be a guest at our Weekly Rotary Meeting on October 1st. She will provide a brief update on their work in Zimbabwe, and how your Rotary Foundation donations have helped their organization provide meaningful improvements in the lives of the people they serve.
