It all started in 1992 when District 5040 sent a delegation of Rotarians to the former Soviet Union to assist with establishing the first Rotary Club in Kiev in the Ukraine. The delegates saw the state of the medical facilities and decided to find a way to help. In 1993, the late Ted Segodnia together with fellow Vancouver club Rotarians, Bill Richwa and Ralph Towsley, organized the first shipment of medical supplies and equipment to Kiev.
Mile stones
In 2012 we passed our first major milestone when the estimated value of the goods shipped passed 100 Million dollars!
In 2013 we passed our second major milestone when we shipped our 300th container! We should all feel very proud.
In 2012 we decided to shorten our name to Rotary World Help or RWH and to update our branding with a new logo, and website. We also produced a DVD, Rotary World Help 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX-IscEAmXE which tells the RWH story and success
