The vision of Birthing Kit Foundation is "A world in which all women and girls have access to a clean and safe birth"

The Rotary Club of Murray Bridge acknowledges the women in developing countries who do not have access to a safe and clean birthing environment and are proud to have provided these kits helping to provide a safer birth for these mums.

Sadly our world is seeing a lot of natural disasters or conflict and this results in the displacement of people from their homes. The following is from the Shelter Box website

"Each disaster is different, and so is every community. We don’t believe that one size fits all, so we make considered assessments to provide the exact support that gives people the hope and the power to transform their own lives.

The emergency aid we supply comes in the form of ShelterBoxes and ShelterKits. Our sturdy green ShelterBoxes contain family-sized tents specially designed to withstand the elements and provide people with temporary shelter until they are able to start the process of rebuilding a home.

Our ShelterKits contain all of the essential tools people need to start repairing and rebuilding homes straight away.

That’s not all. We know that a home is much more than bricks and mortar or tarpaulin and tent pegs. Our kits and boxes contain the items that help transform shelter into a home, like cooking sets, solar lights and activity sets for children".

The Rotary Club of Murray Bridge regularly purchases Shelter Boxes for use around the world. Can you help us help others?

Studio Purpose - Support for homeless youth

Studio Purpose in conjunction with AC Care, Rural City of Murray Bridge, Habitat for Humanity and other partners including the two Murray Bridge Rotary Clubs have recently completed the first stage of this project.

Two South Australian Housing Authority units have been converted into four welcoming places for youths at risk of homelessness to live.
Studio Purpose is addressing the lack of safe accommodation for young people at risk of homelessness in the Murray Bridge region. Studio Purpose consist of four self-contained, fully furnished units for short-term rent by youth aged 15 to 21. But it’s about much more than a warm bed and welcoming space. Studio Purpose will also work with youth to provide the practical support required for success focusing on their health and wellbeing, access to education and training, their connection with their local community and their longer-term sustainable housing options.

Rotary was proud to have assisted with the supply of whitegoods and other materials. As of September 2022 it has been announced that 2 additional units will be converted into 4 living units.
