International & Foundation
The International and Foundation activities of our club are managed by our International Committee led by Philip Austin & the Foundation Committee, led by John Stanton
- The International Committee of Kenilworth Rotary Club uses approximately 50% of funds generated by the Club’s activities, the balance of Club Charity funds being dedicated to local community work. We also have access to private donations which are to be used specifically for International projects
- We try to work with other Rotary clubs, UK and Internationally and we attempt to increase the value of our donations by use of enhancements from the Rotary Foundation, Government or other organisations, wherever possible
- We tend to focus on Literacy & Education world wide - see Guatemala Literacy Project - as well as Water & Sanitation with emphasis on children, but not to the exclusion of other TRF areas of Focus
- Whist Rotary is not a first responder organisation, we nevertheless do respond to major disasters, usually via Shelterbox or similar organisations
- Geographically, our work ranges from the Philippines via Myanmar, Nepal, India & Africa, to Central & South America

Fight against Polio
more World Wide Rotary recognises October 24th each year as End Polio Now Day. Polio is nearly but not yet quite eliminated. Look for the Kenilworth Rotary's Stand in Talisman Square on Thursday 24 October - and in the evening on the facade of The Holiday Inn.
