Rotary Club of Male'
The Rotary Club of Male’ was formally chartered on 29th March 2012 by then RI President Sakuji Tanaka.
The 120-year-old Rotary Movement is a 1.12 million strong international volunteer service organization serving through 35,000 clubs in 200 countries.
The Rotary movement provides humanitarian services, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. Major humanitarian projects undertaken by the global Rotary family include the ‘End Polio Campaign’ initiated in 1979 with dramatic results and now partnered by WHO and the ‘Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’.
Service Above Self
The service efforts of Rotary Club of Male’ were established even before the Club was officially registered with engagement and gifts to students with Special Educational Needs (SEN); a partnership that has been sustained through 14 years of service. In this vein, we are in the process of initiating a Rotary Global Grant project in Dh. Kudahuvadhoo, targeting to build a specialized Centre for rehabilitation and therapeutic needs focusing 3 atolls in the Maldives.
Additionally, during the first year of operation, Rotary Club of Male’ installed the freshwater desalination project in Adh. Dhigurah and have continued several community projects in 5 separate islands. Of further note is that for the 5th year running we completed the delivery of a ‘care package’ for needy families for the advent of Ramazan this year too.
The District 3220 Business Conference is an initiative of Rotary Club of Male’. This year the Conference is held at Addu, targeting the wealth of resources and unique opportunities in trade and commerce of the Southern Atolls of Maldives. The conference will seek to identify and establish partnerships and trading communities between Sri Lanka and Maldives
