Request for Aid

How to Obtain Aid

Procedure to Obtain Humanitarian Aid

Rotary World Help (RWH) is an all volunteer registered non-profit society with no payroll and extremely low administration expenses. It gathers, sorts, records, and ships in 20- or 40-Foot containers medical, dental, optical, educational and sports goods to third world countries where people are in need.

Definitions:

Sponsoring Rotary Club: must be a member club of Rotary World Help. They are responsible to ensure all of the funds required are available before the container is shipped. If a matching grant is used they are responsible to ensure all of Rotary International forms are completed and filed.
Recipient Rotary Club: Is in a country other than Canada and agrees to oversee the receipt of the container.
While receiving clubs are expected to contribute some of the costs to shipping according to their ability to pay, the sending club is responsible for shipping to the major port within the receiving country. The receiving club is responsible for transportation costs of moving the goods from the port of entry to the ultimate consignee and in addition the receiving club is responsible for any brokerage fees incurred in clearing customs in their country.

Please fill out the form below and at the end of the form click submit, and your form will be send directly to the Shipping Manager. The form will then be reviewed to ensure it is complete. It will then be forwarded to the Rotary World Help Board of Directors for their approval. Once this is given, you will be advised of your acceptance. Three final shipping quotes will be obtained, the sponsoring club will put the finances together and a tentative loading and shipping date will be arranged.

Note: Loading dates are subject to goods being available and booking for shipping being available.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

The shipment consignee is responsible for any and all duties, taxes, fees or any other payment whatsoever, that may be levied. The shipment Consignee will also be responsible for any demurrage charges if the container is held up once it has entered the country. With this request for aid form the consignee certifies that the consignee organization is entitled to receive humanitarian cargo free of all important charges, taxes, custom duties and fees.

The Shipment Consignee also acknowledges they are responsible for any and all transportation costs from the port of entry to the goods’ ultimate destination in their country (unless prearranged with the sponsoring club).
