The Maroubra Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Sydney are collaborating to fundraise for the project, "Give Every Child A Future." Come along this Saturday, 24th of April to Bunnings Eastgardens in Sydney to support Rotary volunteers.
The Rotary Club of Sydney initiated the idea of a sausage sizzle fundraiser for the project in celebration of the Rotary Centenary this year. The Club will be setting up from 7 AM and expect to start at 8 AM and fundraise until around 4 PM.
Rotary Give Every Child A Future is the one project that involves all of Australasia and demonstrates that Rotary remains strong in today’s world.
In 2021, Rotary in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific will be 100 years old following the establishment of Rotary Clubs in Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland and Wellington in 1921.
The Rotary Give Every Child A Future project will celebrate 100 years of service and in collaboration with UNICEF plans to vaccinate the most disadvantaged children and adolescent girls across the Pacific to prevent:
- In women, cervical cancer
- In children, severe diarrhoea caused by rotavirus and meningitis, blood infections and pneumonias caused by pneumococcal disease
Rotary and UNICEF are aiming to vaccinate 100,000 children over four years but this is just the beginning. This project will help strengthen the Pacific’s broader health systems and ensure the sustainable delivery of these vaccines into the future.
