If you have an interest in doing good in the world, why not join our Club Team and Team Leader Paul Rake for a Hands On Project in Cambodia in January 2024?

A successful completion for the Water Catchment Project on Moso Island, Vanuatu

Here's a breakdown of what happened on day one and day two

Six villagers from Tapour Village (Cambodia) have been trained to build Washroom Toilets.

Harder than Expected!! But Major Health Risk Averted,

The community spirit kept rolling with the latest round of tree planting with our partners KooyongKoot Alliance.

South Port Housing is an organization that struggles to make ends met and run by a small, dedicated team headed up by the CEO Charlie Beckley.

Small Tags, Big Impact: Rotary's Chadstone/East Malvern’s journey as part of the wider community collecting Bread tags to help in providing 100 Wheelchairs. 

Rotary comes together in creating safe drinking water for school children on the Island of Moso.

We are a part of a Rotary team changing the lives of families with financial support from the Rotary Foundation.

To our partners, sponsors, donors, sleepers and supporters a very big thank you. We have raised $18,390.50 to date. WomenCan, Ashburton Country Women's Association and Avalon Centre partner with our club for this event.

Would you allow your kids to go to a school where raw sewerage was in the playgrounds? This is what the kids at Tapour primary in Cambodia are doing. 

- NOW A MAJOR PROJECT  

We are heavily involved in driving change for women in Cambodia. 

How was this for a great branding opportunity...........

Well done to our member Alick Osborne who very kindly lent our marquees for the unveiling of a plaque to commemorate the Queen’s Jubilee tree planting in Markham Reserve, Ashburton. 'Kooyongkoot Alliance' President Graham Ross and Federal Member for Higgins Dr Michelle Ananda-Rajah did the honours. And it just happened that Michelle was guest speaker at our club the night prior.  

Also present were Boroondara Mayor Cr Jane Addis and member-elect for Ashwood Matt Fregon. 

A few thousand more trees to plant next year.  

Rotary Clubs of Chadstone/East Malvern and Port Philip together with the District program ‘World of Difference’ and the Rotary Foundation will create approximately 40 Washroom Toilets by rebuilding the structure of existing toilets.

Cambodia women are forced to bath themselves and their children in the open spaces because they do not have adequate facilities. Rotary is stepping in to change that!!

Over 5000 people in Cambodia will soon be drinking fresh water thanks to a Rotary International Global Grant and they will raise a glass of gratitude to Rotary International

Our Rotary Club is ensuring students in Vanuatu can focus on their studies because we are providing drinking water to more schools with support from Rotary Foundation through a District International Grant.

Did you know that between Rosemary and Dawn they have knitted 300 beanies. WOW!

200 beanies were knitted by Dawn and Rosemary, and sewn by Rosemary. These made their way to Uganda.

The last piece of the puzzle is the connection of guttering to run from the school roof to the water tank.

AND HERE WE GO – the guttering to the tank at St Therese was connected just in time for a massive rain fall and the tank filled completely overnight.

We have united with other clubs of inner Melbourne to establish a premises for the storage of residential goods to be recycled in the community thereby reducing landfill rubbish.
