ROTARY'S SEVEN AREAS OF FOCUS

Rotary International has seven areas of focus, and all our projects are aligned to these specific areas within them.

 

There are also Action Groups with specialists in their field who can be called upon to help on a project your club is working on.

​

The Rotary network is vast, and whatever your project, there will be someone within our Rotary Family with expertise to help you bring your vision to fruition.

SUPPORTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Rotarians understand that the whole world is their backyard.

 

We can see the effects of climate change in communities they care about and we come up with projects, using our connections to change policy — and planning for the future.
