Cowdenbeath Rotary Club is set to support earthquake-stricken communities in Myanmar.
At their recent meeting, the club discussed the devastating impact of the disaster at the end of March, which resulted in over 3,000 deaths and left many without proper shelter.
With the rainy season approaching, the need for aid is urgent.
Secretary Tom Russell said: "Myanmar has been the centre of the earthquake which also affected the likes of Thailand and parts of China, and many people have been left homeless.
"World Rotary is desperate to help those stricken by the event and they are urging clubs to consider donating a Shelter Box, which not only provides accommodation for families but also different sorts of equipment.
"Essential items like water filters, mosquito nets and cooking sets help people survive."
The club is considering how they can contribute, whether by supplying a full Shelter Box, which costs more than £600, or by sending individual essential items.
On a local level, the club has also made a donation to the East of Scotland football club, Dundonald Bluebell.
The club's Moorside Park suffered substantial damage due to Storm Eowyn in January, with various parts of the ground, including fencing, being flattened.
The football club launched a Crowdfunder to repair the damage and approached the Rotarians for help.
They responded with a donation of £250, which has been gratefully received by the Moorsiders.
