While Rotarians can serve in countless ways, through our foundation (The Rotary Foundation), Rotary has focused its efforts in six areas, which reflect some of the most critical and widespread humanitarian needs.
While Rotarians can serve in countless ways, Rotary has focused its efforts in six areas, which
reflect some of the most critical and widespread humanitarian needs.
The 6 Areas of Focus are:
- Peace and conflict prevention/resolution
- Disease prevention and treatment
- Water and sanitation
- Maternal and child health
- Basic education and literacy
- Economic and community development
Rotary grants offer opportunities to initiate and support global as well as smaller international grants, Vocational Training Teams, scholarships and Rotary Peace Fellowships. We look to our partner clubs to tell us what their community's greatest needs are, exchange ideas and then take action to address them.
Beyond service to others, Rotary offers each of us the ability to connect with people from all parts of the world ... through the International Convention, Friendship exchanges and a wide variety of opportunities that give us the charge to know other Rotarians around the world. When traveling, you can visit Rotary clubs anywhere, and you will be welcomed ... because you wear the Rotary pin.
And wherever we are, we wear our Rotary pin. It says:
I am dependable.
I am reliable.
I am available.
And I give more than I take.
