What is Rotary International?
Rotary International is the umbrella organization for all Rotary Clubs. It has collaborated with many civic and humanitarian organizations as well as the government agencies of various nations in its efforts to improve the human condition. An example of what these partnerships can accomplish can be found in Rotary’s ambitious PolioPlus program. Launched in 1985 with the World Health Organization, the US Centers for Disease Control, and UNICEF, the RI program’s goal is to immunize every child in the world against polio. By that time, RI has committed over a half-billion US dollars to the effort.
