Sustainability: what worked and what didn't

Last summer, representatives of the 10-year-old Rotary-USAID water and sanitation partnership toured some of the communities where projects had been implemented. As is the case globally, some of the projects were successful and some were failures. Most were somewhere in between. In the December issue of The Rotarian, Rotary I looked at what worked, what didn’t, and why.

The value of volunteering

A special report prepared for Rotary International by the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies estimated the value of Rotary member volunteer hours at $850 million a year.

5 reasons to give to The Rotary Foundation

When you make a donation to The Rotary Foundation, you are helping Rotary members make a difference in the lives of millions of people around the world. Here are five reasons to make Rotary your charity of choice.

1. Accountability
Our accountability and transparency have earned The Rotary Foundation 12 straight years of four-star ratings — the highest possible — from independent evaluator Charity Navigator.

2.Impact
We partner with other organizations to increase our impact and make your donations work even harder.

3. A record of success
Rotary unites leaders who have the skills and resources to tackle some of the world’s most difficult problems and deliver sustainable, long-lasting results.

4. Global reach
Our 1.2 million members span the globe, uniting people who have a common desire to serve others.

5. Bringing about peace
Peace holds a unique status in Rotary. We approach peace not as an abstract concept, but as a living, dynamic expression of human development.

Why Join Rotary?

Rotary is a global network of community volunteers.
Rotary club members are business, professional, and community leaders in your locality who meet regularly to plan and implement community service activities and network with other professionals. For those interested, members can also choose to become involved in international humanitarian service efforts. More than 1.2 million men and women in over 200 countries and geographical areas belong to over 33,000 Rotary clubs.

Rotary builds international understanding through scholarships, exchange programs, and humanitarian grants. Throughout the world, Rotary clubs participate in a broad range of educational, intercultural, and humanitarian activities designed to improve the lives of others.

Benefits of Membership
Belonging to a Rotary club provides members with an opportunity to make a contribution to their own communities and to communities around the world.

Members may join Rotary for many reasons, including community involvement, personal development, professional networking, and camaraderie with fellow members. But perhaps the most important benefit is the satisfaction gained from making a real difference in the world.

Polio Plus
PolioPlus, Rotary’s most ambitious program to date, focuses on global immunization efforts and has played a leadership role with the World Health Organization, CDC, and UNICEF in bringing the world to the brink of polio eradication. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has contributed US$355 million to Rotary to support PolioPlus activities.
