After the Tsunami struck S.E. Asian. countries on Boxing Day 2004, our club and most of the other Clubs involved in collection at the Camberwell Sunday Market in Melbourne, donated all the takings for the month of January 2005, towards a Tsunami Relief Fund. This amounted to some AUD81,000 and was passed to the International Committee for careful distribution.

Our objective, was to ensure that 100% of these funds reached those in need. Recognising that Rotary is not organised to dispense emergency relief, we set about identifying a long-term, well managed Relief Project that would remain valid long after the media and emergency relief organisations had moved on to new places of need.

Our Rotary Sunday Market generates funds that we can use to support worthy causes. If you have a project or a cause that would benefit the community, you may be eligible to receive support.
