Rotary is an international organisation, the largest Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in the world. The Rotary Foundation is our own charity, supported by voluntary contributions from Rotarians, friends and donations from the public who share its vision of a better world both at home and overseas. Funds raised are generally used to finance long term sustainable projects in seven areas of focus including, promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, child and maternal health, environmental sustainability, education and growing local economies.
