Let’s go a little deeper:

Rotary is a global network of community volunteers.

Rotary works to improve the quality of life for all people.

Rotary exists to do good in the world.

Rotary is an international service organization of 1.2 million business and professional men and women who, as volunteers, address needs of their home and international communities.

Rotary initiates’ local and global service projects to promote world understanding and peace and improve the life conditions for people of all ages and cultures. An example is PolioPlus through which Rotary is working to eradicate polio by 2005.

Rotary's strength lies in the volunteer service of its membership, an international network of business and professional leaders implementing a wide range of programs to meet human needs.

Rotarians are men and women of integrity who represent a cross-section of business and professional backgrounds. As volunteers of all ages, they work to meet community and international concerns.

Rotary's strength is that it is both international and local. For example, today's critical problems, such as health and sanitation, hunger, and environmental deterioration, must be addressed at local levels. With more than 30,000 clubs in 163 countries, Rotary is ideally suited to address such problems.

ABOUT POLIOPLUS

Through PolioPlus, Rotary leads private-sector participation in the global effort to eradicate polio. The value of the half-billion-dollar program by 2005 is multiplied by the thousands of volunteers in more than 100 countries helping to immunize children.

Rotary's volunteer and financial assistance in vaccination efforts means polio will disappear in nation after nation and region after region. Polio eradication will not occur until the disease disappears from all nations and all regions.

Rotary's community-based leadership in target countries was a deciding factor in the World Health Assembly's goal of polio eradication. Rotary International is the key private partner in the global fight to eradicate polio.
