Rotary logo

Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

There are 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Clubs are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. As signified by the motto Service Above Self, Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.

Rotary International District 6910 is one of three Georgia Districts and occupies the northern 49 counties of the state with a total population in excess of 2.4 million residents. District 6910 has more than 3,400 Rotarians in 70 Rotary Clubs ranging from as few as 21 members to more than 200 members.

Thanks to the generous investment in UNICEF’s nutrition programs in Guatemala made by Rotary International District 6910, UNICEF has worked to provide interventions that prevent anemia due to iron deficiencies, prevent growth retardation due to zinc deficiencies, prevent gastrointestinal infections related to deficiencies of vitamin A and other nutrients, and ensure growth monitoring.

UNICEF has been supporting local companies to produce and supply ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) from within the country itself. With local suppliers UNICEF can now access lifesaving RUTF to help malnourished children faster than ever before.

In a house outside Antakya in southern Turkey, parents fleeing the violence in Syria have set up a makeshift school for their children. For children, it’s the beginning of a new normality as the carnage grinds on in their homeland. But the school’s headmaster says many of the school’s 196 children are struggling to come to terms with the violence and loss, and that more assistance is urgently needed to help them reclaim their future. The children’s psychological state is especially tenuous, after having witnessed so much violence.
