Rotary Give Every Child a Future.

To do this, Rotary has once again, partnered with UNICEF. Rotary’s primary role in Rotary Give Every Child a Future is to raise funds ($4.5 million) and awareness for the project, while UNICEF is responsible for delivering the vaccine programmes in each country.
Project planning is led by UNICEF and the four founding clubs of Rotary Australasia; Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland and Wellington. While it will be funded through a series of global grants, 27 in fact, one for each country for each year, it cannot succeed without support from clubs across the entire region. Rotary Give Every Child a Future gives every Rotary clubs the opportunity to really make a difference ‘in our own backyard’, to save the lives of children and mothers in the South-West Pacific.
This project provides every club with the opportunity to demonstrate to their communities the power of Rotary in the 21st century; how, when like-minded and determined people come together, they can achieve amazing things.
A toolkit of resources is available to Rotarians for their fundraising events at https://everychildafuture.com/toolbox/ and our District RGECAF champion, is available to support your fundraising projects and give talks to clubs and your wider communities. Your events can be promoted through the RGECAF website Events and Facebook pages. Please also let Michelle know if you have any media coverage for your projects so these can be shared with the wider RGECAF community.
