Rotary is an organisation of business and professional people united world wide which began a century ago, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and helps to build goodwill and peace in the world.

These principles of service, understanding and goodwill are sustained by the fellowship which an individual Rotarian enjoys with fellow members within his club and the mutual understanding and relationship which are shared with fellow Rotarians throughout the world.

Rotary is more than 1.5 million service-minded men and women belonging to more than 27,000 Rotary Clubs in over 160 countries.

Service to the community is one of the main functions of the Rotary movement. The ‘Rotary, Coping with Life’ series fulfils this objective by letting Rotary Clubs become involved with their local schools.
