Our current projects 

'Wheels of Aid'

Double the Impact - donate to the Sydney Rotary 'Wheels of Aid' Project

Thousands of families in the Ukraine’s front-line city of Zaporizhzhia are seeking safety and relief. 

Among those fleeing, are 68,000 children who have lost their homes and need food, warmth, and hope.

Together, we can make a significant difference. By supporting the Wheels of Aid Project, you are ensuring the delivery of life-saving aid to those in desperate need.

How the 'Wheels of Aid' Project will change lives

Sydney Rotary is partnering with Rotary Zaporizhzhia-Khortytsia to purchase a vehicle that will deliver essential aid to twelve refugee shelters housing thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs)—food, supplies, and more. 

This vehicle will also bring relief to tens of thousands living in conflict-affected areas in south-eastern Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Every dollar donated will directly fund this vital project, bringing immediate relief and long-term support to people displaced by the war.

 Donate today to bring warmth, hope, and relief to families in Ukraine this winter.
