Our most urgent need at the moment is funds to support Pakistan flood relief.
Our other work however continues, support for nursing training in Haiti, eye and general surgery for disabled or injured poor in Camboida, our own Our Voices' USA project (teaching digital art to Native American children).
Rose Charities USA is volunteer run; no admin charges, no salaries, no frills
Rose Charities supports communities to improve quality of life through innovative, self-sustaining projects and partnerships. We do this within the framework of volunteerism that places emphasis on results. Founded by aid workers who were disillusioned by the waste and bureaucracy often seen in international aid, we started in Cambodia in 1998. The aim was to deliver effective, sustainable programs directly to those in need, with minimal bureaucracy, and with transparency at every stage.
The Rose Charities international network of independent organizations are not-for-profit secular and non-political. We are run by volunteers, so administration costs are kept to a bare minimum, with 98% of donations going directly to support our work. Rose Charities support includes Eye Surgery & Sight Restoration, Surgery for cleft lip & palate, landmine injuries, acid burns & other disabilities, Emergency relief & disaster response and other support.
