Rotary, explained · global connection, local action
Rotary brings people together to exchange ideas, build relationships and serve communities. Our Nairobi club is one local part of a worldwide network; the work starts by understanding the people and priorities around us.
What Rotary is
Rotary is a community of clubs whose members bring different professions, experiences and points of view. Members connect through service and friendship, then work with local people and partners on practical needs.
Learn about Rotary clubsFrom connection to service
Every project is different. This is a simple way to understand the work: start with people’s experience, bring useful skills together, work with partners and share what happened.
Understand a need with the people who experience it.
Connect practical knowledge, time and resources to the need.
Work alongside community, public and private partners.
Show the activity, partners and reported results clearly.
A global framework
Rotary’s areas of focus describe broad fields of service. They help explain the network’s reach; each local project still responds to the context and priorities of its community.
