Reece Foundation | Our Projects

Local community. Global impact.

By supporting projects in over 20 countries, more than 50,000 people now have better access to clean water and sanitation. Whether it’s supporting vulnerable communities in our own backyard in Australia, or extending our support overseas to those that need it most, we’re actively making progress to create a better world.

Real stories we’re proud of.

Local Projects

From building loos in the Northern Territory outback, to helping vulnerable communities in New South Wales affected by floods, we’ve looked after our people through the efforts of local tradespeople and partners.

Eugowra Water Tank Project

In 2022, communities in Central West NSW were impacted by severe flooding events. With the region starting to prepare for a season of drought and extreme heat, six volunteer tradies came to the area to install new 22,000 litre rainwater tanks for 10 families.

International Projects

We’ve brought that altruistic Aussie spirit to people in need across the globe. Working with international partners and suppliers, we’ve supplied remote communities with the expertise, resources, and infrastructure they need to live a better life.

Overseas

Siem Reap Washroom Toilet Project

Over two weeks, nine volunteer tradies from Australia got their hands dirty - digging, building, and installing washroom toilets to give families a safe, and private place to wash and go to the toilet.

A better world starts with you.

If you’re a qualified tradie, you can join our list of volunteers to be notified when there's a project that needs your expertise. Have a project idea?
