There are as many reasons to support The Rotary Foundation as there are ways to do good in the world.
Member. Contributions to EREY are the primary source of funding for Foundation programs.
Here are a few ways your contributions are making change possible.
5. Fighting hunger
Projects such as these help address the areas of focus of maternal and child health as well as economic and community development.
4. Reducing child mortality
According to the World Health Organization, 1.8 million children die of diarrhea every year, making it the second leading cause of death among children under five. Proper sanitation can reduce the rate of child mortality in many communities by up to a third. Water and sanitation is the third area of focus.
3. Promoting peace and conflict resolution
Rotary Peace Fellows are leaders in promoting national and international cooperation, peace, and conflict resolution. Help support the Rotary Peace Centers . Peace and conflict prevention/resolution is the first area of focus. Read about four Rotary Peace Fellows and their visions for peace .
2. Basic education and literacy
Education helps rebuild lives, whether it's in small rural towns or in war-torn countries. For example, a literacy project sponsored by U.S. Rotarians in conjunction with the International Reading Association (IRA) is helping Sudanese refugees rebuild their communities by equipping them to teach future generations.
1. Eradicating polio
Rotary launched its PolioPlus program in 1985. Since then, eradicating polio has been the organization's top priority. End Polio Now and help fulfill its promise.
