Welcome
What is Rotary?
Rotary International was founded in 1905 in Chicago by Paul Harris and it has grown into a worldwide organisation with over 1.4 million members in 200 countries. Rotary International is all about making a difference in the world!
Over the years Rotary International has provided humanitarian aid for crisis-stricken countries, given $356 million for 32,000 scholarship grants, provided $76 million for humanitarian projects, and has spear-headed the Polio Plus programme by raising over $500 million to eradicate Polio.
Rotary International is all about making a positive impact in our communities and around the world! Here are some of the wonderful things Rotary International is doing:
Fighting Disease: Our flagship PolioPlus campaign, launched in 1985, has played a major role in the global effort to eradicate polio. We’re proud to have helped reduce wild polio cases by an amazing 99.9%!
Promoting Peace: Through our Peace Fellowships program, we fully support individuals passionate about making the world a better place. They receive extensive training at our dedicated Rotary Peace Centres.
Providing Clean Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene: We work to ensure everyone has access to clean water and sanitation facilities so they can lead healthy lives.
Improving Maternal and Child Health: We’re committed to initiatives that focus on the health and well-being of mothers and their children.
Supporting Education and Literacy: Education is key! We’re involved in projects that promote learning and literacy in communities worldwide.
Growing Local Economies: Our efforts include supporting initiatives that strengthen local economies and empower communities.
Protecting the Environment: We care deeply about our planet and are dedicated to environmental sustainability and conservation.
Through Rotary International (https://www.rotary.org/), members access expertise, global connections, youth programmes, and funding for local and international projects. We also host visiting speaker nights and social events for members, members' partners, and friends, so it's not all about service to our community.
