This committee deals with international projects and disaster relief work

The themes of the International Committee remain as: -

                 Water, Health & Hunger;

                 Literacy; and

                 A Family of Rotary.

Based upon this the information shown below is our proposals for the next Rotary Year: -

Ongoing Projects

                 Tigre Trust

Another project of long standing is our support for David Wright, our ex-Rotarian colleague who is based in Eritrea. Financial support will be directed through the Tigre Trust and has been agreed at £1,800 (i.e. £150 per month).  Unfortunately, the Trust is in financial difficulty at present and its long term future is unknown.


                 Polio Plus

We have supported this for three years and will be gradually winding down our support in line with District policy.

Adhoc Projects as required

               Whenever International conditions require it we will look to providing ongoing support to the following worthwhile causes: -

                       Shelter Box

                       Life Box / Life Straws

                       Shoe Boxes

                       Boots for Africa

                  In December 2011 we organised a successful Grand Charity Dinner that was attended by 240 people. The aim of the event was to raise funds for the survivors of the floods in Pakistan. We have collected over £6K from the dinner and are now co-ordinating with the Rotary Club of Pakistan to get the matching grants from Rotary International. This is a complex but highly rewarding project that is overseen by John Barrow. If we can fulfil the requirements of Rotary and get the matching grants, the funds raised can be increased to over £20K level. 

                 Mwanza Project. As this project is becoming a District 1040 project we will look to finding out more about the project and possibly becoming more involved with it.
