​During 2022-2023, Rotary Bacchus Marsh is delighted to join with Rotary Clubs around Australia in an exciting project, EndTrachoma.
 
This project was established in 2017 and contributes hygiene products and equipment to remote aboriginal communities in an effort to reduce, and hopefully eventually eliminate, the preventable eye condition, trachoma, an eye infection that can lead to blindness.
The key objectives of this project are:
  1. to reduce the incidence of, and eventually eliminate, trachoma in remote indigenous communities
  2. to raise awareness of the importance of facial hygiene in the prevention of trachoma
  3. to provide products and equipment to facilitate good hygiene practices in children and families
  4. to engage local schools in the fight against trachoma and
  5. to ensure that hygiene kits are distributed in the context of a hygiene education project.
We are currently preparing family hygiene kits which will be sent to a selected, remote area school in the NT. 
 
We would like to thank UFS Pharmacy, Bacchus Marsh, for their generous contribution in the form of toiletry items for our family kits.
