About the Foundation
The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation that supports the efforts of Rotary International to achieve world understanding and peace through international humanitarian, educational, cultural exchange programmes. It is supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends who share its vision of a better world.
The foundation was created in 1917 and its aim is to do good in the world. It has grown from an initial contribution of $26.50 to more than $117.9 million.
Humanitarian programmes help to improve the quality of life, providing health care, clean water, food, education, and other essential needs primarily in the developing world.
One of the major projects Rotary has undertaken is to seek to eradicate Polio worldwide and this has almost been achieved, with only 1% of cases happening in 3 countries.
The Seaburn club is holding an event on 22nd March, a Cabaret Night
