(Supporting Education)

Our Club has loyally supported the David School in Sierra Leone for many years now, making regular donations towards the funding of a teacher and occasional donations for other needs.

This year we are also sponsoring the training of a new teacher, Osman Kamara through the first of his three years and have committed to funding years two and three.

(Growing Local Economies)

This is a microfinance initiative aimed to help people work themselves out of poverty through the provision of small business venture loans. We intend continuing re-investing the repaid loans on an ongoing basis. We currently have £1,150 invested, on a rolling re-investment programme.

HEAD (Himalayan Education and Development)

(Supporting Education)

To support the building of a home/school for Nepalese visually impaired and disabled children.

Ukraine (https://www.rotary.org/en/rotary-responds-ukraine-crisis) 

(Disaster Response / Supporting Education / Fighting Disease)

Without doubt the single most important ‘and way of life impacting’ event of the 21st Century. We will endeavour to support in any way we can through effort and endeavour rather than fiscally at this time given our collective generosity of late in recent donations.
