INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

Where need exists, Rotary works to find solutions. Nonpolitical and nongovernmental, Rotary clubs are autonomous and create innovative solutions to meet community needs.

Rotary members improve the quality of life through routine child immunization projects, medical and dental clinics, and the construction of safe water and sanitation systems. Clubs also work for peaceful communities by organizing violence-prevention projects.

Rotarians attack the problem of illiteracy through programs that strengthen primary, vocational and adult education, and teacher training.

Whether standing at the forefront of an international health campaign or mounting a massive literacy initiative, Rotary rallies the tools and know-how to successfully lead the way to change. 

CHILD IMMUNIZATION

Eradicating polio is a top Rotary priority which requires the immunization of every child under 5 in the world.

As a result of the efforts of Rotary and its global partners, more than one billion children have been immunized against polio since 1985. Rotary members will have given approximately US$500 million to the campaign by the year 2005, the target date for certification of a polio-free world.

Through The Rotary Foundations' PolioPlus program, more than one million Rotary volunteers from around the globe have contributed to the success of polio eradication efforts.

Rotary is the key private-sector partner in this international heath effort. Public-sector partners include the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

DEDICATION

Rotary members dedicate their time, skills, expertise, and myriad other resources toward improving the human condition.

Club Members support international projects through the programs of The Rotary Foundation. The Foundation was created in 1917 for the purpose of doing good in the world, and is supported almost entirely by member contributions.

Organized by Rotary clubs in at least two countries, Rotary Foundation humanitarian grants support projects that provide health care and supplies, clean water, food, job training, and education - particularly in the developing world.

Large-scale Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grants support sustainable projects that help others help themselves.

Rotary members also contribute their technical expertise and compassion. Each year more than 200 grants fund Rotary volunteers in 50 countries.
