Economic and Community Development

Rotary members are passionate about providing sustainable solutions to poverty.

Our members and the Rotary Foundation work to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.

Nearly 800 million people live on less than $1.90 a day. 

We provide training and access to well-paying jobs and financial management institutions. 

We create opportunities to help individuals and communities thrive financially and socially.

The Rotary Foundation supports investments in people to create measurable and enduring economic improvements in their lives and communities. This could include vocational training, supporting local entrepreneurs, and community-led initiatives for economic development.
