Rotary's Seven Areas of Focus
As Rotary members, we share the same goal: make meaningful change in communities around the world. We take on some of the world’s most difficult challenges to make a difference for the good of all.
Where Rotary's Global Impact Is Concentrated
The Rotary Foundation channels its humanitarian grants, and Rotary International's broader global initiatives, through seven areas of focus, the causes that guide the majority of Rotary Foundation-funded and Rotary club-led projects worldwide.
These areas shape the kind of service opportunities available to Rotarians everywhere, including the Global Grant projects the Rotary Club of Suntec City has taken part in.
1. Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention :
fostering dialogue and understanding within and across cultures
2. Disease Prevention and Treatment :
educating and equipping communities to stop the spread of life-threatening and preventable diseases
3. Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene :
building local solutions for access to clean water and sanitation
4. Maternal and Child Health :
expanding access to quality care so mothers and children can live and grow stronger
5. Basic Education and Literacy :
expanding access to education and empowering educators
6. Community Economic Development : creating opportunities for individuals and communities to thrive financially
7. Environmental Sustainability :
strengthening conservation, protecting natural resources, and fostering harmony between communities and the environment
Beyond these seven, Rotary holds two further commitments close to its identity :
Disaster Response, supporting communities through every phase of recovery, and
Polio Eradication, Rotary's longest-standing and most ambitious philanthropic priority, led jointly by Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation, working to rid the world of polio once and for all.
