 According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, more than 2.9 billion people worldwide have been affected by disasters since 2000. How can we assist communities immediately following a disaster? What type of support does Rotary provide to help resurrect devastated regions? 

 
Join us for a 60-minute webinar to learn about opportunities to work with Rotary’s project partner ShelterBox to sponsor, coordinate, and deliver culturally appropriate supplies to regions affected by disaster. Expert panelists will teach you how to serve those most in need of assistance through relief initiatives, and a representative from Rotary’s Grants team will highlight RI resources to help fund recovery initiatives focused on rebuilding areas devastated by disaster.

Learn how your club and district can help bring needed resources to local regions impacted by disaster, assist international communities in need of relief help, and organize initiatives for the long-term sustainable recovery of hard-hit areas. Register today:

Webinar panelists include:

  • Rotarian Mark Dyer – ShelterBox Response Team member
  • Ms. Beth Santos – Regional Grants Officer, Rotary International

Spread the word! Invite fellow Rotarians and Rotaractors to attend this important web event to increase Rotary’s involvement with disaster relief and recovery efforts. All are welcome!
