Our Club in Action

Stop Press - Over May 24th to 26th, we will have a display at the Unley Shopping Centre featuring the club and a current project to provide birthing kits to developing countries. 
Interested in finding out more about Rotary, visit our stand outside Wendy's Ice Cream.  In three sessions you can see how birthing kits are assembled ready to be shipped overseas, more on the Birthing Kit Foundation below.  Sessions will be at:
5pm to 6.30pm on Thursday 24th May 2018
2pm to 3.30pm on Friday 25th May 2018
11am to 12.30pm on Saturday 26th May 2018
The Birthing Kit Foundation (BKFA)
 
Around 300,000 women and 3 million newborns die each year from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth.  Most of these deaths occur in developing countries. To help address this, we provide an opportunity for Australian volunteers to fundraise for and engage in the assembly of Birthing Kits.
 
BKFA partner with local organisations, governments and health service providers who receive and distribute Birthing Kits to vulnerable women to help enable a clean and safer birthing environment. We also provide funding for collaborative and sustainable community development projects, supported by research and advocacy for improved maternal and newborn outcomes.

Unley Rotary Thrift Shop

The Unley Rotary Thrift Shop, located at 130 Unley Road in Unley, opened in 1974 and has raised well in excess of $1 million in today’s dollar terms, which has enabled the club to provide finance for many worthwhile local and overseas projects.

The Thrift Shop is staffed entirely by volunteers. You can help by volunteering some of your time too. And we need your unwanted goods; let us put them to good use.
