Rotary Cares!

As one of the last two remaining wild polio-endemic countries, Pakistan has gone a full year without a report of a single child being paralyzed by the wild poliovirus, showing us that a polio-free world is within our grasp.

We recognize the commitment of Rotary members in Pakistan and worldwide who helped make this progress possible, while remaining focused on the hard work ahead to deliver a polio-free future to all children, everywhere.

Rotary members in Pakistan play a vital role in polio eradication by raising awareness and funds, advocating with government officials, and engaging community leaders. To date, Rotary has supported polio eradication activities in Pakistan with nearly US$347 million in grants to fund health workers, vaccines, immunization campaigns, and surveillance efforts, and established health camps and water filtration plants to bring broader health services to communities.

While we reflect on our progress, we also recognize that this progress is fragile, as surveillance efforts in Pakistan have continued to detect the wild virus in environmental samples, and challenges to reaching all children with vaccines persist. Now is the time for Rotary members, government leaders, global partners, and workers at the frontline to redouble efforts and ensure no Pakistani child is paralyzed by polio ever again.

January 24th is International Day of Education.

More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population.

Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults. The Rotary Foundation supports education through scholarships, donations and projects around the world.

Imagine Rotary the theme for 2022-2023 explained by incoming President Jennifer Jones.

The theme graphic was designed by an Australian indigenous artist to link with the Melbourne convention in 2023.

Circle - connections to one another

Dots around it - Our People
There are 7 Dots because of our Rotary’s 7 areas of focus

Circle + dots around it - Navigation star, our guiding light

Green solid line - digging stick (used when doing hard work);
for us it’s People of Action, represents the tools for getting things done

Colors: Purple, Green & White -
Celebrate DEI- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Freedom to express ourselves differently but still with a special connection.

Purple- Polio
Green- the Environment
White - Peace

Represents Empowerment and Newness and also the colours were utilised for the women's movement giving us the opportunity to grow our female membership.

These two lemons fell off the same tree on the same day.

Not every project by a Rotary club becomes a famous, earth-shaking behemoth. Some just continue along, improving things at a steady pace and making a difference for the people they're intended to help.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Be glad for the fruit produced. Keep nurturing the tree.

🙂 We all make a difference
