From Cathy C.
– OUR CAUSES
As you know Rotary is dedicated to causes that build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support our peace efforts and end polio forever.
As disrupted as our world in so many areas, we, Rotarians are totally active in promoting peace. Rotary encourages conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures, and yes, personal persuasions.
Rotary continually trains adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict and help refugees who have fled dangerous areas.
Rotary continues to educate and equip communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases, like polio, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and now COVID-19. We expand access to low-cost and free health care in developing areas.
We provide local solutions to bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to more people every day. We don’t just build wells and walk away. We share our expertise with community leaders and educators to make sure our projects succeed long-term.
We also save mothers and children. Nearly 6 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, poor health car, and inadequate sanitation.
We expand access to quality care, so mothers and their children can live and grow strong.
Supporting education is a huge focus in our efforts. More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education and increase adult literacy.
Rotary members are always tackling environmental issues by coming up with projects, using our connections to change policy and plan for the future.
These are just some of the causes we signed onto and continue to support by our membership. Let’s also stay committed and involved. The world needs Rotarians.
The world needs us.
