Peacebuilding and conflict prevention
Peace fellowships, community-led reconciliation, and the Positive Peace framework — addressing the conditions that sustain peace, not just the absence of war.
Disease prevention and treatment
Vaccinations, healthcare-worker training, clinics, and major eradication campaigns — including PolioPlus, from polio to malaria to maternal health.
Water, sanitation, and hygiene
Wells, water-purification projects, sanitation infrastructure, and hygiene education in the regions where access is most limited.
Maternal and child health
Prenatal care, midwife training, immunisation, and nutrition programmes that give every mother and child a healthy start.
Basic education and literacy
Schools, teacher training, adult literacy programmes, and scholarships — especially for women and girls denied access elsewhere.
Community economic development
Vocational training, microfinance, women-led enterprise, and partnerships with social entrepreneurs in the communities where help is needed.
Environment

Frequently asked
Quick answers about joining a club, what membership involves, and what Rotary actually does.
What does Rotary actually do?
Rotary clubs are local service organisations — every club picks its own service projects. In District 1160 that ranges from food banks and Christmas hampers to international clean-water and education projects, plus the global eradication of polio and the funding of peace fellowships at Rotary Peace Centers worldwide.
How do I join Rotary?
Visit your local club. Most clubs welcome guests at their weekly meetings, and joining is by invitation after a couple of visits. Use the club finder above to find your nearest club, or fill in our membership enquiry form and we'll connect you.
Is there an age requirement?
There's no upper age limit. Members range from their twenties to their nineties. For 18-30 year olds, Rotaract offers a parallel programme with the same service ethos and slightly different format.
What does membership cost?
Annual dues vary by club but typically run €150-€300 per year, plus a meal cost if your club meets over breakfast or lunch. Clubs are run by their members — the dues fund both club activities and the Rotary district worldwide.
Do I need to know other members to join?
No. Many people join after attending a meeting as a guest. Rotary is an open community — members come from every profession and walk of life, and clubs actively look for fresh perspectives.
How much time does Rotary take?
It's flexible. Clubs typically meet weekly (often over a meal). Beyond that, members get involved in service projects at whatever level suits their life — some Rotarians lead major international projects, others contribute by showing up to support local initiatives.
