About Us
The Rotary Foundation
Doing Good in the World
The Rotary Foundation is the charitable arm of Rotary International. Its mission is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.
Every dollar contributed to The Rotary Foundation is used to fund impactful programs worldwide, including Polio Eradication, Global Grants, Vocational Training Teams, Peace Fellowships, and more.
Rotary Club of Almaty members are proud contributors to the Foundation. We have received multiple Global Grants funding maternal health, water sanitation, and educational projects across Kazakhstan.
