Disaster Response Fund Kyiv The Rotary Foundation Ukraine Crisis
As one of the world’s largest humanitarian organizations, Rotary International has made peace the cornerstone of our global mission. We are deeply concerned about the Ukraine crisis and need your help.
 
 
Our Rotary District 7910 has a special relationship with Rotarians in Ukraine. Members from our Shrewsbury club, with support from five other clubs and districts in the United States, Canada, and Scotland, were instrumental in establishing the first Rotary clubs in Kyiv. We'll share more details about this story in the coming days.
 
To watch District 7910's 96-second video, "Ukraine Disaster Response: 30 Years Ago We Helped, Now They Need Our Help Again," either click here or on the banner at right. District Governor Elect Victor Tom produced the video.

Rotary is made up of people of action - especially in difficult times. In response to the deepening refugee crisis, the trustees of The Rotary Foundation have prioritized contributions made to Rotary's Disaster Response Fund, to support disaster-response grants for districts affected by the crisis in Ukraine. District 7910 Governor Cliff Rober strongly urges Rotarians and friends of Rotary to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine through donations to the Fund.
