Emergency Response to the Floods in Slovenia
Dear Rotaractors & Rotarians across Europe,
We are deeply saddened by the enormous natural disaster that hit Slovenia. This is arguably the worst natural disaster the country has ever experienced, as explained in this article.
In such a tragedy, it is a time to show we stand together and help the ones in need. Here are three ways you can help:
1. Financial Contributions
Money is currently the most critical need. Rotary District 1912 is collecting funds to cover essential needs like food, water, clothing, medical care, and assistance in rebuilding homes and infrastructure. Please donate via bank transfer to:

Stegne 23a, 1000 Ljubljana
IBAN: TRR SI56 0201 3025 7301 922
BIC: LJBASI2X
KODA: CHAR
Purpose of payment: Za akcijo pomoči poplavljenim/ For the campaign to help the flooded
2. Local Fundraising initiatives
Organize fundraising campaigns with your local Rotaract Clubs, and send the money directly to the account mentioned above. If your district is initiating any distinctive fundraising project, do not forget to register your project on the project directory, to inspire and guide other clubs.
3. Volunteering Opportunities
For those who are willing to lend a hand on the ground – aiding in the cleanup of flooded homes, participating in damage restoration, and providing basic necessities to the affected areas – volunteering opportunities are available through various Slovenian associations.
