Rotary is committed to humanitarian causes worldwide, helping vulnerable communities, supporting emergency disaster response and creating sustainable development.


Rotary International Events and Service 

International service is a key aspect in the life of Dumfries Rotary Club.
Our
 club is committed through fundraising projects and linking with the network of Rotary clubs worldwide wherever possible, to helping vulnerable communities in the developing world.

This can be achieved in a variety of ways:

• supporting emergency response to natural disasters
• promoting sustainable community development for the longer term
• raising funds for educational and health programmes.

 

Through supporting specific projects, our club members gain awareness and insight into the diverse cultures that constitute our wider world. 


Past projects our club has supported include Water Aid, Disaster Box and Aqua Box charities, the Jaipur Limb Project in India, Mercy Ships, Mission Aviation Fellowship, Vine Trust in South America, Ambulance project in the Balkans, Story Book projects in Kenya and Sri Lanka.
We will be looking to generate support for this year’s projects by involving the whole club membership
, family, friends and local organisations.
