Our service
What Rotary clubs do, and how we do it here
Rotary clubs organise their service around seven areas of focus. Here is what each one means for a community like ours.
Areas of focus
Promoting peace
Training leaders and young people in conflict prevention and mediation, so that disagreements are settled with dialogue.
Fighting disease
Health camps, screening and awareness, and the worldwide effort to end polio, which Rotary began and still leads.
Clean water & sanitation
Safe drinking water, toilets and hygiene education, so that families and schools stay healthy.
Saving mothers & children
Better care before and after birth, and basic health knowledge for the youngest members of the community.
Supporting education
Literacy, school facilities, scholarships and learning for every child, and for adults who missed the chance.
Growing local economies
Skills, training and small-business support that help families earn a steady living where they are.
Protecting the environment
Tree planting, waste reduction and care for the tanks, forests and farmland that Anuradhapura depends on.
Five avenues
Service has many doors.
Whatever your talent, there is a way to use it: through the club, your profession, your neighbourhood, the wider world, or the next generation.
Club Service
Strong friendships and a well-run club, because good projects need people who trust each other.
Vocational Service
Members bring their professions to the community and hold themselves to high ethical standards at work.
Community Service
Practical projects that answer the needs of our neighbours here in Anuradhapura.
International Service
Working with Rotary clubs across the world on projects no single club could carry out alone.
Youth Service
Leadership and service for young people through Interact (ages 12 to 18) and Rotaract (ages 18 to 30).
Know of a need we should hear about?
Schools, temples, health workers and neighbours often see a need first. Tell us what you see.
