Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 45 years, and our goal of ridding the Earth of this disease is within reach. We started in 1979 with vaccinations for 6 million children in the Philippines. Today, Afghanistan and Pakistan are the only countries where polio remains endemic.
We foster understanding and interaction between people of different backgrounds and cultures. We take action to support refugees and train adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict. This work creates a safer and more harmonious world for all people.
Building on our successes in the fight to eliminate polio, we bring together global experts, national health systems, and local leaders to improve and expand access to health care. We also prevent the spread of diseases like malaria so that everyone can lead healthy lives.
We share our expertise and partner with communities to get vital water, sanitation, and hygiene services and resources to more people. We prioritize schools and health care facilities, which helps whole communities thrive.
We strengthen communities’ capacity to offer basic education and increase literacy at all stages of learning. By training teachers and focusing on foundational skills, we open up new possibilities for the future.
By connecting mothers and young children to nutrition, health care, and sanitary services, we increase the well-being of families and communities.
Leveraging the collective business and professional expertise of our members, we expand the potential for economic development, especially for young people and women, so that more people and more communities can prosper.
Together with local leaders, we take action to find innovative solutions to environmental challenges. We develop service projects that strengthen our local ecosystems and our planet, creating a greener and more stable future for us all.
Rotary and Rotaract club members and our partners offer helping hands, funds, and supplies when disasters occur. We plan and implement projects that help affected communities rebuild and recover.
