ROTARY INTERNATIONAL
WHAT IS ROTARY INTERNATIONAL ?
Rotary International is a global network of 1.2 million neighbours, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
SOLVING REAL WORLD PROBLEMS TAKES REAL COMMITMENT AND VISION
We believe that we have a shared responsibility to take action on our world’s most persistent issues. Rotary is dedicated to six areas of focus to build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support our peace efforts and end polio forever.
Fight disease
Provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene
Save mothers and children
Support education
Grow local economies

- Access to peace forums
- Very large health projects (Polioplus)
- Regional medical assistance (Interplast), and Humanitarian programmes

ROTARY has been working to eradicate “Polio”
for over 30 years, and our goal of ridding the earth of this disease is in sight. We started in 1979 with vaccinations for 6 million children in the Philippines. Today, Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan are the only countries where polio remains endemic.
