What is Rotary?

Rotary is a nonpolitical, non religious worldwide organization of service-minded individuals that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.

Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service through the development of:

• Fellowship among the Rotarians and the communities in which we live,
• High ethical standards in business and professions,
• Community service, and
• International understanding, goodwill, and peace.

Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 32,000 Rotary clubs located in approximately 200 countries.

Rotary

There will never be peace in this world as long as there’s poverty. We must continue to face up to the challenges of poverty. Shortages of food and water will become a major issue this century. Rotary is not the United Nations. We’ll never solve all the problems of the world. That is not the function of Rotary. But we can be there to help and do what we can in a practical way

The Future of Rotary Is in Your Hands
