This Rotary Club of Southern Mitchell project is designed to support 1,500 Primary School children and their teachers at St. Vincent de Notre Dame de l'Androy (St. Vincent's) Primary School in Ambovombe, Androy Madagascar. The area has suffered 5 years of successive drought in addition to the Covid-19 pandemic which is forcing families in rural communities to resort to desperate measures to survive. Donations will be used to source food, clean drinking water, medicine and school equipment to help parents keep their children fed and stay at school. The project intends to also build a water well on the school facility if enough donations are obtained. more

ROTARY HUMANITARIAN SUPPORT - UKRAINE

At Rotary, we are deeply concerned by the escalating loss of life and humanitarian hardship caused by the war in Ukraine. We’re using our deep networks and decades of experience to take swift action in the region.

All donations to our Disaster Response Fund from 3 March to 30 April 2022 have been prioritised for use providing humanitarian aid to regions that are supporting Ukrainian refugees or other victims of the war.

Thanks to the generosity of donors around the world, we raised more than $15 million in contributions that are already helping provide people with essential items such as water, food, shelter, medicine, and clothing.
