Rotary International has been a powerful force for good around the world for over a century. As we step into 2025, we don’t just mark the passage of time; we celebrate an inspiring legacy of service spanning 120 years. This anniversary is a tribute to the lives transformed, the communities empowered, and the ongoing promise of making a profound impact. Join us for the "Sun Never Sets in Rotary" global initiative, a virtual gathering from February 23 at 02:00 PM GMT until February 24 at 02:00 PM GMT. Together, we will highlight the spirit of Rotary and its global influence.
The Legacy of Rotary
Since its founding in 1905, Rotary has stood at the forefront of community service and humanitarian efforts. The organization's mission may have evolved, but its core values remain unwavering: service above self, building connections, and fostering a better world. Over the decades, Rotary has improved countless lives through projects focused on education, health, sanitation, and peace. For instance, Rotary's PolioPlus program has contributed to the near-eradication of polio worldwide, reducing cases by over 99 percent since 1988.
With more than 1.2 million members in over 200 countries, the power of Rotary is clear. Each member serves as a beacon of hope, dedicating time and resources to tackle urgent social issues. As we celebrate 120 years, we honor every individual who has worn the Rotary badge and made a difference.

The "Sun Never Sets in Rotary" initiative reflects the idea that in Rotary, a project is always underway somewhere in the world. This gathering will create a platform for Rotarians and non-Rotarians alike to connect, share inspiring stories, and highlight impactful projects.
