Our Cause

Rotary is dedicated to seven areas of focus to build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support our peace efforts and end polio forever.

Well-Being for Kids From Ukraine is a project organized by the Poland-Ukraine intercountry committee in conjunction with, and funded by, District 2231 in Poland. The program assists children aged 7-12 who have experienced post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of their fathers’ being killed or severely injured in the war in eastern Ukraine.

Disease Prevention &
Treatment

We educate and equip communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases like polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. We improve and expand access to low-cost and free health care in developing areas.

Peacebuilding &
Conflict Prevention

Rotary encourages conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures. We train adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict and help refugees who have fled dangerous areas.

Faltmata Mustapha, a polio survivor, had accessibility challenges and relied on public transportation in her community before receiving a tricycle, donated by Rotary. It gives her independence, allowing her to travel outside of her neighborhood and join the door-to-door polio immunization campaign team. She works to convince parents of the importance of vaccination and increase in immunization compliance in the community. Buri Shehuri North, Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria. 29 April 2019.

Water, Sanitation
and Hygiene

We support local solutions to bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to more people every day. We don’t just build wells and walk away. We share our expertise with community leaders and educators to make sure our projects succeed long-term.

Basic Education and Literacy

More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.

Maternal and
Child Health

Nearly 6 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. We expand access to quality care, so mothers and their children can live and grow stronger.

Community Economic Development

We carry out service projects that enhance economic and community development and create opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old. We also strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.

Environment

Rotary members are tackling environmental issues the way they always do: coming up with projects, using their connections to change policy and planning for the future.
