Wash Project

Rotary Club of Monifieth and District supported 3 Wash projects in northeast India in partnership with the Rotary Club of Calcutta. WASH 1 helping villagers in West Bengal showed us that dirty pond water is typically the only water supply for most villages. Together since then we have helped fund more than 40 bore wells and 400 toilets in 15 villages. Click here for full report and album.

Community

Rotarians delighted hundreds of children over four nights touring Santa’s sleigh around the Monifieth area in the run up to Christmas. Every child had the opportunity to let Santa know their Christmas requests and Santa had to be careful to not over promise!

Monifieth Community Fridge

The Fridge is a joint community venture with a number of organisations across Monifieth district which, with support of local supermarkets, aims to cut down on food waste. It’s not a “food bank” but a “stop food waste” project.  More information can be found on the Facebook page …

Fund Raising
