For more than a century, Rotary has been making a lasting difference in communities around the world through humanitarian service, fellowship, and leadership.
Rotary's greatest humanitarian achievement is its leadership in the global fight against polio. Since launching the PolioPlus programme in 1985, Rotary has helped reduce polio cases worldwide by more than 99.9%, protecting billions of children through vaccination campaigns. Rotary continues to work with global partners until polio is eradicated everywhere.
The Rotary Foundation has transformed millions of lives by funding projects in education, healthcare, clean water, sanitation, disease prevention, disaster relief, and community development. Through the generosity of Rotarians worldwide, the Foundation supports sustainable projects that create lasting change.
Rotary promotes peace through its Peace Centers, scholarships, youth exchange programmes, and international service projects. By bringing together people of different cultures and backgrounds, Rotary fosters friendship, goodwill, and mutual understanding across the world.
Every year, Rotary clubs undertake thousands of service projects addressing local and global challenges. From clean drinking water and education to environmental protection, maternal and child health, and disaster relief, Rotary members continue to create hope and improve lives through selfless service.
