Rotary Club constructs walkway near Massacre Primary School

The Rotary Club of Dominica has announced the successful completion of the first stage of its community service initiative, involving the construction of the Massacre Walkway near the Massacre Primary School.

The Club relayed in a press release that the pathway, previously a hazardous dirt trail, has been upgraded into a concrete, secure, and safe corridor, providing benefits to students, educators, and residents within the Canefield and Massacre areas.

This essential project was initiated to enhance the safety and accessibility of a heavily used route, particularly for young children commuting to and from school, especially during inclement weather, stated the organization.

Through their efforts, the Rotary Club assures that the route has now been paved, reinforced structurally, and made safer for all users.

According to Club personnel, the entire project, which cost approximately EC$26,000, was fully financed and implemented through donations received by the Rotary Club of Dominica. The statement also shared that this reflects the organization’s ongoing dedication to community development and youth safety. Work is ongoing on the subsequent phase of the project, which involves painting the railings and installing appropriate signage to further improve the walkway’s safety and aesthetic appeal.

“This project is a powerful example of what service above self looks like, through social intervention”  remarked
Rotary Club President Luana Laurent “We are honored to have played a part in making our community safer,
especially for the children who use this route every day.”

The Rotary Club extends its gratitude to partners and patrons of The Original Souse and Punch, the club’s
fundraiser, and volunteers who contributed their time and support to make this project a reality.
