Open to all, doing good for many
In 2021, Rotary International in Australasia turns 100 years old. To mark this milestone, we are hosting Pedal for the Pacific, a sponsored, charity bike ride to raise funds for the @Rotary Give Every Child a Future project. This project celebrates the Australasian Rotary centennial and partners Rotary with UNICEF to provide 100,000 children across the Pacific life-saving vaccines.

This is a fundraiser, so as well as the registration fee ($25 per individual, $100 per team), we ask that you seek as much sponsorship as you can. It costs $45 to vaccinate a child in the Pacific Islands – let’s see how many we can help!

Covid-19 response in the Pacific still very active
While Covid-19 activity has less emphasis in NZ for the moment, the need in the Pacific remains high and local Rotary clubs continue to respond.  Recently the Rotary Club of Apia delivered 10,000 much needed PPE equipment in the form of face shields to front line essential workers.  This included 5,000 face shields to the National Emergency Operations Center and 5,000 face shields to the Covid Isolation Ward, Mo'oto'otua Hospital.

Waitakere Hospital Pond Project
district9910 environment rotaryclubprojects
Rotary Henderson with help from their satellite club, Rotalite West Auckland and Rotary New Lynn, have been busy with a major project redeveloping a large pond area behind the Waitakere Hospital in Henderson. In Rotary Henderson’s 60th year the club was determined, despite COVID-19 to deliver a large sized project which would allow all our members to participate in some hands-on work – whether it be chain sawing, hauling branches, mulching, planting or organising morning teas and lunches for the hungry volunteers.
