The International Service ideal recognises that we live in a global
village and we cannot ignore the suffering from natural disasters or
the poverty and disease of the third world.
Of the funds that we generate, we do use a proportion for overseas charitable projects and disaster relief. Rotary leads the way in helping to
eradicate polio, giving international aid to the third world through
education, health and infrastucture projects as well as our ongoing help
to the local community.
