Rotary Causes
Rotary engages its members in causes that strengthen international relations, improve lives, and create a better world in support of our peace efforts.
Promoting peace. Rotary initiates conversation to foster mutual understanding despite cultural differences.
Fight against diseases. We educate and equip communities to stop the spread of deadly diseases such as polio, AIDS and malaria.
Drinking water supply, sanitation and hygiene. We support local solutions to supply drinking water and provide access to sanitation and hygiene to as many people as possible.
Health of mothers and children. We improve access to quality care so that mothers and their children can lead fulfilling lives.
Education. More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Our objective is to strengthen education and increase the school enrollment rate of girls and adult literacy.
Development of local economies. Our actions improve economic and local development, and generate decent and productive jobs.
