From the various water projects in which Rotary has participated, we have come to know the obstacles that
many people across the globe face when it comes to some of the basic necessities of life. We tend to take
for granted the clean and generally safe and plentiful water sources to which we have access.
Through Rotary Australia World Community Services (RAWCS) members have engaged in many Water and
Sanitation projects.

DROUGHT RELIEF OUTREACH PROGRAM
As part of RAWCS commitment to the Drought Community Outreach Program (DCOP) with the Federal
Government, clubs have been offered a role in coordinating planned outreach events. Clubs who choose
to be involved, cater for a free barbeque style lunch or afternoon sausage sizzle and assist the RAWCS team
in distributing $500 debit cards to eligible drought affected farmers and farm related workers.
DCOPs were recently conducted in Cowell, Cleve, Elliston Wudinna and Kimba, Thanks to Pt Lincoln,
