Promoting Peace
Today, 42 million people are displaced by armed conflict or persecution. Through partnerships with several leading universities, Rotary Peace Fellows develop the skills to strengthen peace efforts, train local leaders to prevent and mediate conflict, and support long-term peace building in areas affected by conflict. We provide up to 100 peace fellowships per year at Rotary Peace Centers.
Saving Mothers & Children
At least 7 million children under the age of five die each year due to malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. To help reduce this rate, Rotary provide immunizations and antibiotics to babies, improve access to essential medical services, and support trained health care providers for mothers and their children. Rotary projects ensure sustainability by empowering the local community to take ownership of health care training programs.
Fighting Disease
More than 100 million people are pushed into poverty each year because of medical costs. Rotary aim to improve and expand access to low-cost and free health care in underdeveloped areas. Rotary members educate and mobilize communities to help prevent the spread of major diseases such as polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. Many of projects ensure that medical training facilities are located where the workforce lives.

Growing Local Economies
Nearly 1.4 billion employed people live on less than $1.25 a day. Rotary carries out service projects that enhance economic and community development and develop opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old. Rotary also help strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.
