25.01.2022 Did you know that millions of people in Ethiopia have been forced to flee their homes because of violent conflicts and climate change? Since leaving their ho...mes, some families have been living in clusters of makeshift shelters, many using banana leaves for roofing material. Together with our partner IOM - UN Migration, we are working to support displaced families with essential shelter and aid items such as tarpaulins and rope, so they can build safer and more adequate shelters Stay tuned this week as we bring you more from this important response.

24.01.2022 Rotary Inspirational Women’s Awards (RIWA) was launched today, the 5th August 2020 and nominations are now open. They close on the 23rd September 2020. The NSW Governor Margaret Beasley AC, QC is our Vice-Regal Patron. You and your colleagues will all know women who are quietly working to support others by doing Service Above Self? You would also have been constantly coming into contact with women who should be recognised for their quiet contribution in making their comm...unities better places to live. Over the last twelve (12) months we have seen women in our communities taking up the challenges that all have faced, drought, bushfires and now COVID -19. Think about these women that you know and nominate them, enabling them to be recognised for their contribution in support of their community. The Awards are open to all women above the age of 18 years of age across NSW and members of the public are encouraged to submit online nominations at www.riwa.com.au We look forward to receiving your nominations. There is more detailed information below about the Awards and where to go to make your nominations.

10.01.2022 Prior to the 4th August 2020 the people of Lebanon were facing an economic crisis as well as Covid. The blast took out the commercial port of Beirut, causing the death of 191 people and injuring over 6,500 with 300,000 homeless. The area of the explosion damaged/destroyed five hospitals, countless schools and commercial and residential buildings, there are critical short and long term problems to overcome. The Lebanese people are known for their welcoming and friendly nature and have been arrivals to our country for over 140 years bringing a richness of cultural diversity. They have supported Australia through wars and natural disasters and as their families have melded into the fabric of our society, so we can feel for the people of Beirut.

04.01.2022 Yesterday the Philippines was hit by the most powerful storm of the year. Super Typhoon Goni has caused mass destruction - ripping off roofs, taking out pow...er and damaging buildings. Families now face the double threat of having nowhere to live but potentially over-crowded evacuation centres, whilst also trying to protect themselves from coronavirus. It is very likely that we will provide emergency shelter to people who have lost their homes to the storm. We’re on high alert ready to respond. https://www.abc.net.au//ten-dead-as-2020s-stronge/12837524

02.01.2022 Support the people of Beirut through the Rotary Beirut Explosion Disaster Fund. On 4 August 2020, a catastrophic blast took out the commercial port of Beirut, c...ausing 191 deaths, 6,500 injuries, US$10-15 billion in property damage, and leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless. Prior to the explosion, the people of Lebanon were already facing an economic and humanitarian crisis, as well as dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. The destruction from the explosion has been widespread, with about 40 per cent of Beirut severely damaged. According to WHO reports, impacts on health infrastructure include three hospitals rendered non-functional, three substantially damaged, 500 hospital bed equivalents lost, and many primary care facilities damaged. Essential food and medical supplies were also affected, along with countless schools, and commercial and residential buildings. There are critical short- and long-term problems to overcome. The Lebanese people are known for their welcoming and friendly nature and have been arrivals to our country for over 140 years, bringing a richness of cultural diversity with them. They have supported Australia through wars and natural disasters and, as their families have melded into the fabric of our society, we feel for the people of Beirut. The Rotary Beirut Explosion Disaster Fund is an Australia-wide Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) appeal providing funds for humanitarian programs to assist the people of Beirut recover from this disaster. Funds will be allocated to projects that assist in rebuilding and equipping the public facilities so their public services can perform the tasks required look after the community’s needs.
