The news from Afghanistan is horrifying, as hour by hour

 we see relative security and stability descend into chaos and fear.

 People are fleeing across the country,

 causing mass displacements within Afghanistan and across its borders.

 Although Afghanistan is somewhere we’ve provided

 emergency shelter several times,

 we’re not currently able to respond to this devastating crisis. 

Right now, the security and political situation is incredibly complex,

 changing by the minute,

 while access for humanitarians and aid is already difficult

 and becoming impossible. We need to ensure that our aid reaches vulnerable families and puts no one in further danger.

 Even in the unlikely event that the Taliban are true to their word,

 ISIS has already shown their deadly intent.

We’re in contact with partners in the region and will continue

 to watch the situation closely, to see if we’re able to help

 displaced families recover as the picture becomes clearer.

At the end of July, an intrepid group of ShelterBox supporters 

set off on the glorious Larapinta Trail, in aid of ShelterBox.

 Due to last-minute border closures,

 six of our trekkers had to miss out this time and have been

 offered places on future treks 

(hint: there will be another Larapinta Trek in 2022 😊 )

. The group combined with a team from another charity

 and together they formed close bonds and shared

 the sights and sounds of the Larapinta.

What a wonderful way to raise $49,020!

What a fantastic initiative in helping reduce homeless in Perth.

Our club, along with other Rotary clubs, is proud to partner with My Home 

in providing funds to fit-out homes with furniture, crockery cutlery, 

bedding and other requirements.

The donations made through the Container Deposit Scheme

 are used to help provide homes for the homeless.

Read more about My Home here.

..https://myhomehousing.org.au/

On 27 August, Community Services Minister Simone McGurk announced 

$2.2 million in Lotterywest funding for an innovative project that will

 provide 18 prefabricated houses for women who are experiencing homelessness.

The grant was presented to St Patrick's Community Support Centre

 and My Home Australasia.

 This partnership will provide housing on a vacant site in North Fremantle

 for women over the age of 55 who are experiencing homelessness.

My Home will construct 18 houses with prefabricated wall, roof 

and floor panels delivered to and erected on the site,

 ready for the builder to fit out the houses.

St Patrick's will allocate the dwellings to clients, and facilitate the tenants' access 

to support services to help them sustain their tenancies

 and live as independently as possible in the community.

Tenants will pay rent, which will be calculated as if they live in public housing.

The North Fremantle site is owned by the Public Transport Authority 

and St Patrick's will have a peppercorn lease with the Department of Communities.

 Minderoo Foundation is also providing funding for the project.

My Home Australasia is a philanthropic development organisation

 that takes an architectural approach to housing and land developments

 to provide a high standard of accommodation for people who would otherwise be homeless.
