Global and International Projects

Promoting peace

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.

Fighting disease

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.

Providing clean water, sanitation
and hygiene

We support local solutions to bring clean water, sanitation and hygiene to more people every day. We share our expertise with community leaders and educators to make sure our projects succeed long-term.

Improving 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.

Supporting education

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.

Growing local economies

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.

Protecting the environment

We take action to find innovative solutions and develop sustainable service projects to strengthen our local ecosystems and our planet.

Ending polio forever

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for over 35 years. Our goal of ridding the earth of this disease is in sight. We started in 1979 with vaccinations for 6 million children in the Philippines. Afghanistan and Pakistan are the only countries where polio is still endemic.
