Rose Charities International

We are a group of independent, secular, non-political, non-sectarian,  organizations based in several countries linked by a common aim – to reduce the effects of poverty and to help people lead a better life. We work together to support community based projects: we share resources, and learn from each other, we try to listen, and help communities find their own solutions. Each Rose organization abides by the Rose Charities mission statement.

Mission Statement

Through innovative, self-sustaining projects and partnerships, Rose Charities supports communities to improve quality of life. We do this within a framework of volunteerism that places emphasis on results. The Rose Charities International network of independent organizations is not-for-profit, secular and non-political. By linking people and working together we all benefit.

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

The International Council of Rose Charities fosters the relationships between the member organization by developing standards, guidelines, networks and training. The International Council is comprised of one member from each country. They meet every year by skype and every 2 years by international meeting. Current Chair is Dato Lawrence Cheah of Rose Charities Malaysia (Penang)

 

 

 

 

 

A continually changing organic network..

The Rose Charities network is continually changing, growing, contracting, moving  one direction and another throughout the full spectrum of sectors in which we are involved.   While all attempts are made to keep up with the current situation on this website, ‘ often by ‘b.l.o.g.’s   the latest updates invariably are published first within the Rose managed social media of Facebook and Instagram  (see side column on right).

Annual reports are also a good point of reference.   ie   2018  pdf Report

A number of the programs and organizations in the network also have their own websites so often within this website these are referred to instead of repetition of the actual material within them.   This site should thus be considered as an information reference site, more than specifically descriptive of the details of individual programs.
