International Service

Blairgowrie & District Rotary has supported many international projects over the years


This year  (2023) we are working with the Rotary Club of the Angus Glens to provide decent toilet blocks in rural schools in Nepal. This is particularly important for teenage girls who are put off attending school because of inadequate toilets and lack,of privacy

Over the years we have supported the The Rotary Foundation, whose largest ever project has been the worldwide eradication of Polio - and we are almost there. End Polio Now has seen polio reduced to only a few tens of cases on the Afghan/Pakistan border.

We supported a Jaipur Limb camp in Kolkata 10 years ago, and since then have supported

The Rotary ShoeBox Appeal 

Shelterbox

First Steps Himalaya

Global Sight Solutions

Sand Dams

as well as joining with other local clubs with projects supporting schools and sanitation in Nepal, and an Orphanage in India

We have also contributed to various disaster appeals, most recently the Beirut explosion which devastated the city. And this year we helped St Martha's Hospital in Bangalore, India, which treats Covid patients.
