Clean water has global attention

Warwick Pleass reports: "Rotarians in Fiji are organising a walk / run either on Friday 21st September or Saturday 22nd to coincide with the DG Ron Seeto's visit and a water project opening.

It will be (approximately) the Rotary Pacific Water For Life Foundation's 170th project completion in 4 years since inception, helping about 55,000 people at an average cost of roughly USD $25 per person. A very accomplished ongoing project."

Well done Fiji! 

Join the global movement to 'walk for water' on the 30 September.

Visit the web site for more info and to register your Club's activity - the aim is to raise $1 Million towards Water Projects - such a worthy cause.

Fijian Flood subsides and Rotary is there!!

Some Easter reading.

Continue to encourage your clubs, Rotarians and the public  to donate both to our general appeal or for  replacement ERK’s. Anticipate we will be putting together 800 in the coming weeks. We are putting together a submission to MFAT for a grant for second response in consultation with Rotary Fiji. AUSAID have also provided a grant of A$40,000 to Rotary Fiji.

An update from New Zealand Government's Foreign Affairs and Trade Department:
