Happy VOLUNTEERS Week! ❤️
At Rotary SHARE Project, our volunteers have so far loaded 64 wheelchairs plus spare parts, donated by ‘Wheelchairs For Kids Australia’ at our warehouse in Broadford, Victoria.

This week we will receive a further 24 more wheelchairs being sent over from Perth plus some spare wheels to be added to this shipment. Also added to this shipment will be medical first aid & other material aid items that our partner, Safe Haven Medical Outreach, Siem Reap, Cambodia have requested.

The 20ft container has been purchased & will be donated to Safe Haven so they have a secure storage facility for the wheelchairs before they are assembled by local Physio/OT staff & then properly fitted to a child in need.

Thank you to all the volunteers who make a project such as this possible. Including our Rotary volunteers who work tirelessly raising funds so we can do projects like this as we reach from Australia across the world to help others less fortunate than ourselves.

SHARE are so pleased to be a partner of Wheelchairs for Kids Australia

Please contact SHARE’s host Rotary Club:
Rotary e-Club of Change Makers if you would like to know more and/or would like to help in some way.

Thank you one & all. 🙏🌏💝

🌏 SHARE Project Shed Working Bee – Saturday 9 May 2026

We had twenty-six (26) wonderful volunteers come together at the for another productive and meaningful Working Bee and to hear from Kate Arkwright - from Safe Haven in Cambodia and Rotarian at Rotary e-Club of Change Makers

Jenny Foster, SHARE Project Leader, shared information about the three container projects currently being worked on at the SHARE Shed — PNG, Uganda and Cambodia — and explained how each project came about.

Kate Arkwright shared the story about Safe Haven, Cambodia, which supports disabled children in Cambodia. Through the Rotary project 'Wheelchairs for Kids' based in Perth, another 62 wheelchairs have been donated for children in Cambodia.

A recording of the presentation can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/YeOuZFN9ZQA

The Rotary SHARE Project Supporting 'Helping Hands Mission'

The Rotary SHARE Project is proud to support Helping Hands Mission by donating boxes of books, along with antiseptic wipes and sanitiser for staff use. These items are not required for our international shipments (including PNG, Uganda and Fiji), but are making a meaningful difference locally.

A sincere thank you to Jenny Foster and Kathryn Chivers for travelling from Broadford to Airport West to personally deliver these items—an incredible example of commitment to helping others. 🙏💐

'Helping Hands Mission' provides vital support to people facing hardship, offering emergency relief, food, clothing, household goods, and a welcoming place for those in need. Their work is centred on dignity, care, and helping individuals and families get back on their feet.

This is what The Rotary SHARE Project is all about—connecting resources with community need and supporting organisations that are making a meaningful impact every day. 💙
