Rotary was built on the belief that when caring people unite, they can change the world. And nowhere is that more evident than in our work to reduce suffering, improve health, and ensure that families have the chance to live full and healthy lives.

To Health and Happiness

Posted by Noah Nyabwana on Dec 01, 2025

This month’s special issue of Rotary magazine is all about happiness, that most elemental of human yearnings. More than a feeling, though, this state of positive well-being, and the conditions necessary to create and sustain it, should be considered a universal right.

December also marks Rotary’s Disease Prevention and Treatment Month, when we highlight our members’ work to promote health and wellness, including mental wellness. Globally, nearly 1 in 7 people have a mental health disorder, according to a recent World Health Organization report. Yet only 9 percent of people with depression receive adequate treatment.

The Power of Our Giving as Rotarians

Posted by GK Kitakule on Nov 01, 2025

Fellow Rotarians, when we joined Rotary, we pledged to serve above self, and also to be people of action. One of the most powerful ways we live out that promise is by giving to The Rotary Foundation.

The Rotary Foundation is the engine that drives Rotary’s good work across the world. It turns our compassion into clean water, our generosity into education, and our service into lasting change in communities. For us here in Uganda, giving to the Foundation is more than charity, it is an investment in our people and our communities, so that they can have a bright future.
