Rotary’s work is guided by seven areas of focus: promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water and sanitation, supporting education, saving mothers and children, growing local economies, and protecting the environment.
Rotary collaborates with leading global partners such as the Gates Foundation, the United Nations, and the Red Cross, leveraging their expertise and resources to amplify impact and reach and ensuring that every project is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and tailored to the real needs of communities, making Rotary one of the most effective and trusted service organizations in the world.
