Event: Supporting Children with Diverse Abilities – A Step Towards Inclusive Development
IWC of Dhaka Dynamic (D347, IW Bangladesh)

Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, learn and flourish, regardless of physical or intellectual abilities. Guided by this belief, IWC of Dhaka Dynamic undertook an initiative at Ramna Intellectually Disabled and Autistic School, under SWID Bangladesh, in observance of International Children’s Day.

The School hopes to establish a fully operational therapy centre for the children, requiring BDT 1,600,000. Rather than waiting for the centre to be completed, the Club donated the equipment that students could begin using for supervised physical activities.

The donation included one cross trainer, one exercise cycle, three trampolines and four balance boards, offering opportunities to practise movement, balance and coordination, support physical activity and motor-skill development.

Members also prepared 50 goodie bags containing stuffed toys and nutritious treats, adding warmth and enjoyment for the children.

With a value of BDT 82,050, the project currently supports the School’s 115 students. Once the planned therapy centre is established, the children are expected to benefit from the facilities.

Equipment alone cannot create a fully functioning therapy centre, but an early investment can help a community move closer to that goal. The project demonstrates how focused, compassionate service can make developmental opportunities more accessible.

Inspired by the 2026–2027 IIW theme, IWC of Dhaka Dynamic shares a simple message: ‘Every child deserves the care, encouragement and opportunity to flourish.’

Event: Raising Awareness and Protecting Women and Children
IWC of New Cairo (D95, IW Egypt & Jordan)

Under the theme “Grow and Flourish,” on 8 November 2026, IWC of New Cairo, led by President Mrs. Lana Abu El-Gheit, organised an awareness seminar at the Wateen Sharyan El-Hayah Association in El-Marg, as part of the international campaign to end violence against women and children.

The event was attended by Mrs. Nihal Elbakry, Past National Deputy Representative; Mrs. Shahira Seif El-Nasr, Chairperson of the Association; and Dr. Abeer Shams El-Din, Consultant in Psychiatry, Child Health and Disabilities.

Dr. Abeer delivered an informative talk on protecting children from sexual harassment, emphasising the importance of building trust, maintaining open communication, teaching children about personal boundaries from an early age, and protecting them from online harassment.

The women attending actively participated in the discussion, raising questions and sharing their concerns. Dr. Abeer also provided individual consultations for some women and girls in need of specialised support and arranged further follow-up sessions.

At the end of the event, Mrs. Nihal Elbakry, on behalf of the Club, presented a cash donation of EGP 17,000 to the women attending, in addition to toys for the children at the association’s nursery.

The initiative was a meaningful step towards raising awareness, protecting children, and empowering women through compassion and community support.

Event: Wheels of Hope
Inner Wheel Clubs (D312, IW India)

Inner Wheel District 312 undertook a heartwarming joint project titled “Wheels of Hope” during its District Rally and ISO Meet, Manjari, hosted by the IWC of Lucknow Abhyudaya.

As a remarkable expression of collective compassion and social responsibility, 38 wheelchairs, contributed by 28 Clubs across the District, were distributed to individuals facing mobility challenges. The wheelchairs were handed over by International Inner Wheel Vice President Mrs. Sarita Lunani, making the occasion even more special and memorable.

This initiative was not merely about distributing wheelchairs; it was about restoring mobility, promoting independence, and bringing hope and dignity into the lives of those who need support. Each wheelchair represents an opportunity to move forward with greater confidence, participate more actively in society, and experience a better quality of life.

The project beautifully reflected the strength of collective action and the true spirit of Inner Wheel, where individual contributions come together to create a meaningful impact.

Through this joint endeavour, District 312 reaffirmed its commitment to compassion, inclusivity, empowerment, and selfless service to humanity.

Event: HPV Vaccine to Prevent Cervical Cancer – A Short Awareness Film
IWC of Pondicherry Cosmos (D298, IW India)

India reports over 120,000 new cases and nearly 80,000 fatalities – the highest worldwide – from Cervical Cancer each year, according to a WHO report of 2022. A new case is diagnosed every four minutes and another Indian woman dies approximately every eight minutes of Cervical Cancer.

India has launched its first nationwide Human Papillomavirus (HPV) immunisation campaign, rolling out the cervical cancer blocking vaccine free of cost this year. This programme will target approximately 1.15 crore girls aged 14 years every year. This initiative is expected to have a global impact on the burden of this disease.

But vaccine’s acceptability has proved challenging. The spectre of misinformation remains a point of vulnerability for the campaign. Myths and misconceptions regarding the vaccine need to be addressed.

IWC of Pondicherry Cosmos realised that vaccine coverage was hindered by safety concerns, misinformation, and sociocultural resistance. Under the leadership of Club President Rupa Lawrence, they decided to make a short film to spread awareness about the importance of the HPV Vaccine. Club members Nirmala, along with her daughter, and Indhumathi, along with her husband, acted in the film which was directed and filmed by another member, a friend of Devika. The location where the film was shot belongs to an Inner Wheel Club member too. Dr.Shabnam, a Gynecologist practicing in Pondicherry, speaks about the vaccine in the film. This short film is posted on social media and played in schools and clinics to create awareness.
