MOVEFORGECAF
Rotaract's awareness campaign and fundraiser around the world for Rotary Give Every Child A Future project. Join us as we MOVE to support the GECAF project vaccinating 100,000 Children in 9 Pacific Countries. Be a part of Rotaract saving lives.
ROTARY GIVE EVERY CHILD A FUTURE (GECAF)
Rotary and UNICEF are aiming to vaccinate 100,000 children and girls over three years, but this is just the beginning.
In partnership with UNICEF, Rotary will work with local governments to develop and implement immunisation programs that will deliver the vaccines. Strengthening the Pacific’s broader health systems will ensure the sustainable delivery of these vaccines into the future. Generations will continue to benefit from this project.
HOW CAN YOU BE INVOLVED IN #MOVEFORGECAF AS WE SUPPORT GECAF
The fundraising element of this project can be taken on by an individual, Club, District or even an MDIO. Every $45 vaccinates one child and we are aiming to close out our project having vaccinated 1000 children. You can choose to make a personal donation, or host an event on our International #MOVEFORGECAF day and help raise money towards our cause. If you decide to arrange a fundraiser, let us know and we will help raise awareness for it and we can show all the places around the world that are involved in this project. We are so proud to have been joined by Rotaractors in over 22 countries and counting!
