= Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, February 33, 1993--5 4 Kinsmen Club dollars reach overseas Most people know Kin and Kinette Clubs for the work they do in the local community. What you may not know is that Kin clubs have been actively involved in worthy projects around the world for half a century. And the work goes on, mostly in countries in Africa, southeast Asia, South and Central America. Bob Elliott, executive director and Kin and Kinette Clubs of Canada outlined several international projects supported by dollars raised by clubs across this country. He was speaking last Wednesday evening to present and former members of the Port Perry Club as they enjoyed "past presidents and honourary members night." Kin dollars have built polio clinics in Africa, health and nutrition clinics in the Philippines, medical, educational and even "toy" libraries in India, schools for the mentally handi d involving small loans (as little as $200) for family businesses. He said 95 per cent of the loans were re-paid. And the loans were often made to the female head of the family because they would use the money wisely for the benefit of the entire family and are more inclined to re-pay. The most ambitious single project overseas started about ten years ago to bring medical relief to the starving in Ethiopia, Mr. Elliott said. "Our efforts helped to make life bearable for a lot of people, and people lived because of our presence," he told the meeting. He also told of another kind of assistance in the Philippines Interest rates were 16 per cent, said Mr. Elliott, a bargain when compared with the bank rate double that and loan shark rates at 200 per cent.
