Prey Torteung Primary School located 15km from Siem Reap and is in need of help.  The school has 680 students (342 females) and 22 teachers with classrooms in need of repair and school equipment that needs replacing.  The school is also in need of additional toilet and sanitation facilities. Using a District Foundation International Grant this work was undertaken in November 2024

The District Foundation Committee have approved an International Grant to focus on Basic Education and Literacy/Water, Sanitation and Hygiene at the Thmor Chul School in Cambodia.

We also received notice that a Global Grant was approved for the Construction of Washroom Toilets in Cambodia.  Brighton North is part of the consortium which also includes D9800 clubs of Port Phillip, Melbourne Central, Chadstone East Malvern and Balwyn.

We are now able to report that a very successful visit to Timor-Leste has been completed on behalf of the Consortium to view the progress made over the past two years on this Project. 

The facts on youth suicide in our Victorian community are a concern to all and Rotary is working for change to keep our youth safe.
