Rose Charities International
Rose Charities is a network of independent, volunteer-run organizations working across multiple countries with a shared goal: reducing poverty and improving quality of life. We support community-based projects in healthcare, education, and community development, sharing resources and learning from each other. We listen to the communities we work with and help them find their own solutions.
25 years · 19 countries · 200+ initiatives · 2 million people assisted
Mission Statement
Through innovative, self-sustaining projects and partnerships, Rose Charities supports communities to improve quality of life. We emphasize results, volunteerism, and collaboration. The network is non-profit, secular, and non-political.
Get Involved
You can help sustain this work. Because our organizations are volunteer-run, donations go almost entirely to programs on the ground. Donate here, or follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates.
Where are the Rose Organizations?
There are registered or group organized Rose Charities in Australia, Cambodia, Canada, England, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand and USA. These organizations are responsible for most of the fund-raising and technical support of their own or other located Rose projects. They are run by volunteers so administration costs are kept to a minimum, with 98% of donations going directly to support our work. There are one or more Rose Charities direct or supported programs in 18 countries: New Zealand, Samoa, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Afghanistan, Uganda, Madagascar, Zambia, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Haiti and Ecuador. Emergency relief operations or support has also been carried out over the years over most of the countries of S. and S.E. Asia
An International Council connects the member organizations, maintaining shared standards and fostering collaboration across the network.
A continually changing, organic network.
The programs and countries we work in change over time as needs evolve. For the latest updates, follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Annual reports provide a fuller picture of our work and reach.
Many programs and national organizations also maintain their own websites. This site serves as a reference point for the network as a whole rather than a comprehensive record of every individual program.
