INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS

There are over 30,000 Rotary Clubs in over 130 countries across the globe. The Rotary Foundation is our own global charity undertaking humanitarian projects around the world. Our International team plans and co-ordinates our involvement in that work.


The committee currently supports four projects:


Kings School visit to India to work on upgrading facilities - we funded purchase of materials not student transport

Lend with Care - using that charity to invest in individual or group enterprises to give them a start in business

Responded to the RGB&I Disaster appeal to support the rehabilitation of communities after the devastating bush fires  in Australia and the Beirut disaster.

Store collections raised much needed money to send to these areas.


End Polio Now supported to free the world of Polio



The committee is also responsible for coordinating the Club and community's response to worldwide disasters through support for ShelterBox
