Heart of England Rotary

The essence of Rotary is a worldwide network of inspired individuals who translate their passions into relevant social causes to change lives in communities.

Rotary e-Clubs follow the same policies as 'conventional' Rotary clubs. The key difference is that an e-Club conducts its meetings on the club’s website and using other social networking tools. Rather than being physically present at an appointed day and time, members may interact with the e-Club at any time and any day of the week.

A project  in Tanzania that RIBI has been funding is in its final stages. We have  come so far with this project and have provided thousands of people  with a lasting supply of safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.

However, there is still a lot of work to do in order to reach everyone and we urgently need to drill 6 new boreholes and rehabilitate 8 shallow dug wells.

We are looking for a final push in funding between now and World Water Day, 22nd March 2012, to finalize this work.

For a number of years Lichfield St Chad Rotary has donated many old/surplus glasses (spectacles) to Vision Aid Overseas, a charity who specialise in helping people who need spectacles in under developed countries and who have worked in 26 countries and helped over 1 million patients to see.

In recognition of our ongoing donations, we have recieved a certificate from VAO as acknowledgement of our support. Thank you to everyone who has donated glasses.
