Rotary District 7020 comprises Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Haiti, Jamaica, St Barths, St. Maarten/St. Martin, the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, and the US Virgin Islands. There are approximately 85 Clubs in District 7020 and 35,000-plus clubs worldwide.
Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbours, friends, leaders and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change across the globe, in their communities and in themselves. The needs spanning Rotary’s six areas of focus are vast, ranging from lack of access to clean water to the need for immunisation that prevents deadly diseases.
Rotary Clubs serve communities around the world, each with unique concerns and needs. Rotarians have continually adapted and improved the way they respond to those needs, taking on a broad range of service projects. The most successful and sustainable Rotary service tends to fall within one of six areas: 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.
