Are you looking for ways to make a difference in your community or communities around the world? There’s always a project that could use your help.
We use our knowledge of local issues to identify areas of need, then apply our expertise and diverse perspectives to find a solution. Rotary Club members likely are working in your community right now to feed the hungry, tutor disadvantaged children, maintain parks and playgrounds, and much more. You can be part of the change.

Ending Polio
Rotary International has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.
As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we’ve reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.
Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
