Service Projects

Every year our members coordinate fundraising events to raise money for the Rotary Foundation, community service and humanitarian projects locally, nationally and internationally as part of our regular club activities. We work with a variety of local, national and international charities that align with our club’s values and mission across areas including indigenous health, family community service, water sanitation, children’s education and infectious disease.  

Our current service projects include:

Cambodia Partners in Education

Working in co-operation with Cambodia Rural Students Trust (CRST),
17 Rotary Volunteers will travel to Siem Reap in January 2025. The
volunteers include 5 young University teaching students to experience the
power of Rotary international community service as guests of our young
host club, the Rotaract Club of Siem Reap. All volunteers are paying their
own way and have personally contributed to fundraising.
The project provides community needs such as bicycles, solar lighting,
desks (see photos below), study materials and sporting equipment to
support education for primary and secondary students in Siem Reap, one
of the poorest regions of Cambodia. A scholarship has also been granted
for a disadvantaged student to attend university. The team will assist
teachers and mentor students to build skills and self-determination,
guided by Rotaract Club of Siem Reap members.

End Polio Now

End Polio Now is Rotary International’s ongoing campaign to eradicate poliovirus. Although there is no cure for polio, there is a safe and effective vaccine – one which Rotary and our partners use to immunize over 2.5 billion children worldwide.

Indigenous Health Scholarship 2020

Indigenous Health Scholarships support Indigenous students to undertake tertiary training in nursing, physiotherapy, psychology, dentistry and other health-related degrees at university. These scholarships help Indigenous students to overcome barriers to tertiary study and qualification.

3081 Angels (Banyule Community Health & Rosanna Baptist Church)

3081 Angels are a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation which collects quality, preloved baby and children’s goods to give to families in need in West Heidelberg and the surrounding suburbs in Banyule.

Shelter Box Disaster Relief

ShelterBox teams work with disaster-hit families around the world, offering emergency shelter and other essential items to support them in rebuilding their lives.
