Rotaplast International Homepage

 The mission of Scottsdale Rotary's Rotaplast Committee is to create awareness of the need for reconstructive surgery to indigent children
worldwide, together with programs for education and
prevention of birth defects.

Rotaplast was started by the Rotary Club of San
Francisco and now partners with close to 300 Rotary
Clubs across the U. S. and its host countries and
involves over 1,000 volunteers.

Since 1997 Rotaplast has expanded its original mission
to include genetic research and preventive counseling.
The long term goal is to use Rotary contacts to form
prevention centers that can alleviate a high
percentage of this anomaly.

To date over 4,000 patients have received surgery and
the numbers are increasingly dramatic as Rotary grows.

I am the Rotaplast Ambassador for our district and
hope to eventually send an all-Arizona team on a
mission. Our district has sent a Rotary Volunteer and
a pediatrician on missions to South America.
