Rotary's core beliefs, centred on ‘Service Above Self’, high ethics, fellowship and global peace, are summarised in the Guiding Principles and the Object of Rotary.
What are the Bases of the Rotary Ideal:
Fellowship for Service: Believing that friendships built through regular meetings lead to opportunities to serve others.
High Ethical Standards: Applying integrity in business, professions, and personal conduct.
Dignity of All Occupations: Recognizing that every useful job offers a chance to serve society.
Service in Daily Life: Integrating service into personal, business, and community activities.
World Peace: Advancing understanding and goodwill globally through a fellowship of leaders.
It starts with the first Object of Rotary. Working and playing together to develop life-long friendships.
