Plan Your Project

If you have identifed an overseas project you can register your own RAWCS project.

 

Why A RAWCS Project

  1. Tax-deductability - all approved RAWCS projects are tax-deductable
  2. Expertise - the RAWCS Western Region is a group of experienced Rotarians who can help you with support, advice, and we have a warehouse of materials available to be sent overseas (donations in kind).
  3. Volunteers - if you have people who would like to visit your project then under specific conditions they can be registered as volunteers. Volunteers will be covered by RAWCS insurance and there are other advantages (please see Rotary Volunteering)

  3. A Rotary club at the project destination to liaise and work with
