Join with other Rotary clubs and Rotarians to make a difference
TANZANIA - Faye Cran English Medium School 406 ( Riccarton )
Everyone has the right to education . Education shall be free , at least in the elementary and fundamental stages . Human Right 26 . John Magutuli , when elected president of Tanzania on 29 October , 2015 said , every child is entitled to receive free education from preschool to year 7 . The result - from 5 million children going to school , the number enrolled rose to 11 million - schools have had to resort to two sessions a day and because of shortage of teachers many have to teach both sessions each day . The Rotary Club of Usa River , Tanzania , is to build a new school for 800 students , at the same time honouring Rotarian Faye Cran for all the work she has done in Tanzania over many decades in the name of Rotary . Under the GG provisions effective 1 January , 2017 , application will be made to the Rotary Foundation to support the project recognising the clubs who donate .
TANZANIA - MWIKA DAIRY , MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN MILK PRODUCTION 402 ( Suva North )
Support the livelihoods of 250 subsistence farmers . The flow on from this Rotary activity together with the Rotary Market is bringing a community out of poverty , enabling better education and health for all through improved livelihoods and standard of living . Donate a cow , a biogas digester , a milk container or improve the operating dairy production .
FIJI – ROTARY PACIFIC WATER FOR LIFE 313 ( Nuku ’ alofa )
Providing safe water supply and access to improved basic sanitation and hygiene for rural households and schools transforms lives , especially those of women and children . It also builds the community ’ s resilience . In times of flooding , robust water and sanitation infrastructure reduces the risk of drinking water contamination arising from seepage from damaged facilities . During long dry spells , water stress burdens a community . Over the past nine years , RPWFL has been responsible for the construction of over 265 projects to bring piped water supplies to rural Fijians . These projects have benefited at least 70,877 villagers .
ROTARY CLUB and ROTARIAN CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE MATCHED 4 FOR 1
FIJI - ROTAHOMES URGENTLY NEED REPLACEMENT VEHICLE 006 ( Lautoka )
Rotahomes still relies on donations from Rotary clubs and members . An existing truck having travelled 800,000 km has done its last kilometre . A second truck is still operational , but a back-up is desperately needed to ensure that the Rotahome and Koroipita Town activities will continue without interruption .
TONGA – CHILDREN WITH ACUTE DISABILITIES 004 ( Papanui )
The disabled are very much neglected in Tonga and receive no financial support . Many families with severely disabled members live in deplorable conditions . Mango Tree Centre , which supports 1000 disabled people , is building houses giving dignity to those bedridden , some 24 hours a day . The cost of the house is under $ NZ7000 .
