ROTARIANS HAVE SOLUTIONS

Nearly 800 million people live on less than $1.90 a day. Rotary members are passionate about providing sustainable solutions to poverty, both locally and internationally.

Economic and Community Development is one of Rotary's 7 Areas of Focus.
 
ENGAGE IN COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.  Do you have Vocational and Life Skills that can be put to use to support Community and Economic Development, or know members of your club who are interested in pursuing service in this area of focus? Please consider expanding YOUR Role in The World of Rotary!”
 
When we take action, we change the world!  “See yourself in Rotary, beyond your Club! Expand YOUR World in Rotary!”
 
OUR IMPACT ON LOCAL ECONOMIES
Rotary members train people to become resources for their community, offering networking activities such as resume writing, and preparation for successful job interviews, advice on new business development, and many more initiatives to support and coach.
 
OUR IMPACT ON INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIES
 
This video linked below, shows how Rotary carries out service projects worldwide that enhance economic and community development, and create opportunities for work. We also strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities. There are many International Service opportunities to participate in as well as Project Development you and your club can support through grants.
