International Service
International Service
The range of Rotary activities in international service varies widely. Whether it be children at risk, individuals with disabilities, health care, international understanding, literacy, population issues, poverty and hunger, environmental issues or urban concerns, Rotarians take an active role in providing humanitarian assistance around the world. Activities are humanitarian in nature and always non-political and non-partisan.
For example, for the past two decades Rotary International has been the lead NGO in the fight to erradicate polio worldwide. When the Rotary took on this impossible dream more than 380,000 cases of polio were contracted annually worldwide. In the last few years the cases reported number in the 100s. Rotarians have provided more than half a billion dollars in this worldwide fight. The fight has taken Rotarians to Southeast Asia, India, Pakistan, Africa, South and North America, indeed worldwide regardless of politics and national boundries.
