What is Rotary

What is Rotary

ROTARY is a worldwide network of inspired men and women who translate their passions into relevant social causes, to change life in their communities, encourage high ethical standards in all walks of life and work toward understanding and peace.

ROTARY is more than 1.2 million service-minded business and professional people belonging to 34,000 Rotary Clubs in 200 countries. Membership is by invitation. 

ROTARY CLUBS bring together people across generations who share the ideals of service, leadership, diversity, friendship, and integrity and wish to create lasting change in the world, in their communities, and in themselves.

ROTARIANS meet regularly to enjoy each other’s friendship and discuss ways to serve others.

ROTARY is compassion for the underprivileged, the ill and the disabled, who benefit from over 50,000 Rotary club service projects in the world each year.

ROTARY runs the biggest non-government scholarship scheme in the world.

THE ROTARY FOUNDATION transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. Since it was founded more than 100 years ago, the Foundation has spent more than $4 billion on life-changing, sustainable projects.
