Welcome
ROTARY CLUB OF SYDNEY-SUNRISE
GLOBAL GRANT PROJECTS
Global projects are typically beyond the financial funding capabilities of most individual Rotary clubs such as our own. But there is strength in numbers as the projects we undertake typically receive funding from other Rotary clubs and organizations across North America, our own Rotary District in addition to others. The Rotary Foundation will match (80%) of contributions made by Rotary Districts from around the world, provided the project falls within at least one of Rotary’s “Areas of Focus” and meets Rotary’s standards of sustainability, measurability, due diligence and good governance.
While this page focuses on the global projects we have and are currently working on, we are actively seeking future projects. In addition, we continue to support Rotary’s Emergency Disaster Relief, Polio Eradication and other programs.

About Lebanon…
Lebanon is situated on the Mediterranean Sea between Syria and Israel, Once the financial hub of the Middle East, it is now in the midst of a serious financial and banking crisis. Civil strife and foreign interference especially in the south contribute to the crisis. People have lost their savings and unemployment is high. Private and Government Health Insurance do not cover the unemployed and even the aged.
