Challenge: A significant volume of beds and hospital equipment has been donated and additional support to the RARE (Rotary Australia Repurposed Equipment) project is required to fund sending more containers overseas.
Solution: The RARE Project has this year committed to send two containers for regional hospitals in Cambodia and a second container to “Save the Mother” project at Burnanya Health Centre in Uganda. Requests have been received from Mongolia, Republic of Congo, PNG and Kenya for specific hospital equipment.
Impact: Repurposing equipment achieves sustainability by placing redundant equipment where it is needed and measurably improving environmental and social outcomes.
Project Name: Western Region RARE - Donations for Container freight & costs
Our target for 2024 is to raise $15,000, to allow beds and equipment to be delivered.
We are seeking Rotary Community support to achieve this. Please make your donation through the above link. A tax deductible receipt will be sent to you.
