Rotary Monthly Theme

April is Environment Month

Rotary and Earth Day

As People of Action,
Rotarians have been shaping the conversation on the environment for years

The first Earth Day was held on 22 April, 1970, launching a wave of action to protect our environment.
Every year since, the day has been set aside to focus on mobilizing for action to protect our planet.

As people of action, Rotarians have been shaping the conversation on the environment for years,
from addressing climate change that threatens entire food systems to fighting pollution that clogs our air and water.
Rotarians are well-suited for the challenge. They use their connections to find creative solutions and take action to safeguard our vital resources.

March is Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Month

Providing Clean Water

Clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education are
basic necessities for a healthy environment and a productive life.

When people have access to clean water and sanitation, waterborne diseases decrease,

children stay healthier and attend school more regularly,

and mothers can spend less time carrying water and more time helping their families.

Today, over 70 million people are displaced as a result of conflict, violence,

persecution, and human rights violations. Half of them are children.

We refuse to accept conflict as a way of life. Rotary projects provide training that fosters understanding

and provides communities with the skills to resolve conflicts.
