Rotaract is a programme of Rotary for youth 18-30 years dedicated to the same mission. There are over 35,000 Rotary clubs and over 10,000 Rotaract clubs in the world.

Rotary focuses its efforts in six key areas as these areas encompass some of the world’s most critical and widespread humanitarian needs. These are peace and conflict prevention/resolution; disease prevention and treatment; water and sanitation; maternal and child health; basic education and literacy; and, economic and community development.
