Your Rotary Service Projects Team is here to support your club.

In what other ways can we support the great work that you are already doing?

“If Rotary is to be relevant in the 21st century, it must tackle the real problems of water, health and hunger, and literacy. It must also strive for continuity and proclaim the core values of Rotary: service, fellowship, diversity, integrity and leadership. Whether Rotary will thrive or fail, whether our service will mean much to many or little to few, whether Rotary is known with respect or seen as a relic of days gone by – all this is up to you.”

RIPE John Kenny

In every community, there is work to be done. As Rotarians, we will not stand idly by.

We will accept our responsibility.We can, and we must.
