The Rotary Foundation has changed the names of three areas of focus (marked with asterisks) to better reflect the types of projects that Rotary members carry out.
 
The six areas of focus are:
 
  • Peacebuilding and conflict prevention*
  • Disease prevention and treatment
  • Water, sanitation, and hygiene*
  • Maternal and child health
  • Basic education and literacy
  • Community economic development*
 
Some of the areas of focus goals have also changed.  You’ll find new activities related to the environment in the updated Areas of Focus Policy Statements.
