The Rotary Foundation is your Charity

The Rotary Foundation is the charitable arm of Rotary, what you contribute is best utilised to make this world a better place to live. Give $2 a week and in fifty Weeks it multiplies to $100.

A $100 contribution to The Rotary Foundation has helped the following:

4 new wells for rural villages in Zimbabwe.
Text books for one elementary school in Zambia.
Hearing aid for a deaf child in Pakistan.
Training materials for 500 people in Vallampadgai, India to promote awareness about organic gardening.
Two sturdy bicycles and maintenance equipment to help teenagers in remote areas of Thailand to travel top school.
Supply six desks for a school in Mexico.

Together with SHARE, Rotarians, and village volunteers work together to help an amputee walk in Thailand or check to eyesight of a girl in India.

A contribution of $500 to the Rotary Foundation has helped:

Cataract surgery for 20 people in India.
Provide a watch repair mini business for six disabled workers in the Philippines.
Pay for tuition and books for one year of secondary school education for 7 students in Kenya.
Provide prosthetic limbs to twelve disabled people in Thailand / Cambodia.

There are many more projects, the Foundation has helped; and would be helping. Every dollar you give to our charity will make a big difference to the less fortunate people of the world. Every Rotarian Every Year your contribution of any amount that you can afford will be a great help to the less fortunate of this world. Encourage your Club Foundation Chair establish ways that allow YOU to contribute to The Foundation. I have suggested, above, that $2.00 a week added to your dinner fees may be one way to donate. Alternatively, one fine session a month may be the clubs way to donate. Whatever the way you or the club raise Foundation funds.

Make the Rotary Foundation your first charity of choice. All donations over $2.00 are tax deductible.

For further information please be free to contact EREY Coordinator Geoff Long or the members of the District Foundation Team whose contact details are given in the District Directory and in the District website.

Let us support Every Rotarian Every Year (EREY) and make people Happy.

The Rotary Foundation is YOU.
