Service and Fellowship
The Rotary motto ‘Service Above Self’ conveys the humanitarian spirit of Rotary’s 1.2+ million members. Strong fellowship among Rotarians along with meaningful community and international service projects characterise Rotary worldwide.
Rotary’s Areas of Focus
Rotary clubs serve communities around the world, recognising that each community has its own unique concerns and needs. The most successful and sustainable Rotary service tends to fall within one of the following six areas:
- Peace and conflict prevention / resolution
- Disease prevention and treatment
- Water and sanitation
- Maternal and child health
- Basic education and literacy
- Economic and community development
Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation recognise these six areas of focus as organisational priorities, and there are countless ways that Rotarians can address these needs locally and internationally.
