The Rotaract Overseas Projects is just one way in which Rotaractors from Great Britain & Ireland can help those less fortunate than ourselves abroad. Since 1995 we have been to Romania, Tanzania, Ghana, Bulgaria, Malawi, Uganda and Benin, in each case doing a similar sort of task: decoration, refurbishment, construction. The team endeavours to keep close ties with all the recipients in these countries so that they can feed back to their supporters, both financial and otherwise, how their work continues to be appreciated. The aim of the projects is to promote teamwork and foster good working relationships between Rotarians and Rotaractors by carrying out a worthwhile overseas task satisfying the Rotary ideal of service above self.
Rotaract Overseas Projects was a Rotary International in Britain and Ireland (RIBI) Preferred Project in 2003/04, and has been included in the RIBI Opportunities to Serve book each year since then.
The Rotaract Overseas Projects was a Rotary International Outstanding Projects winner in 2006.
