As a member, you are welcome at any Rotary club meeting anywhere in the world. The size and scope of Rotary International has allowed us to tackle some very big things, including the campaign to eliminate polio from the world and the campaign to supply pure water to all.
All Rotary clubs throughout the world support the Rotary International Foundation, and work with the foundation to make the world a better place through projects both big and small. International projects typically involve one or more clubs in the target country and one or more clubs in other countries who donate money and, quite often, hands-on volunteer time in the target countries. This structure allows clubs in different countries to work together. This assures that Rotary projects are realistic and directed to a real need in the target country, identified by local people rather than some remote bureaucracy. It also assures that money is well spent. Rotary International Foundation is consistently ranked among the top charitable organizations in the world for efficiency.
