This event is an important fundraiser for two community projects in Uganda, Africa.
The Kyebe Maternity Ward Clinic
We are raising funds to renovate and re-establish the Maternity Clinic of the Kyebe Health Centre III, in rural Uganda. The facility serves the local community, and due to a lack of funding and support, is in a state of disrepair.
The Rotary Club of Albert Park and the Rotary Club of Konge Lukuli in Uganda are managing this project.

The Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre at Entebbe Zoo
UWEC is fun and exciting place for students to visit and learn about the animals of Uganda, the ecosystems in which they live, and how the local community can ensure their ongoing safety and wellbeing. UWEC is a partner zoo with Zoos Victoria and part of its international conservation and education programs.
The facility has over 250 animals in care, and has resuced over 500 injured or captured wild animals.
