Welcome to Boroondara Cares Foundation
The Boroondara Cares Foundation is charitable organisation created by the 8 Rotary Clubs within the Borders of Boroondara. It is our concern that the “leafy streets” of Boroondara hide some serious community issues..

- There are 17 neighbourhoods in Boroondara where the average income is below the poverty level.
- There are more than 400 homeless people in Boroondara
