Areas of Focus

The Rotary Club of Hickam Pearl Harbor is committed to making a difference in our community and throughout the world. Rotary International has been dedicated to six areas of focus to build international relationships, improve lives, and create a better world to support our peace efforts and end polio forever. As of 2020, Rotary International added a seventh area of focus, Environment.

Promoting Peace

Rotary encourages conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures. We train adults and young leaders to prevent and mediate conflict and help refugees who have fled dangerous areas.

Disease Prevention
We educate and equip communities to stop the spread of life-threatening diseases like polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. We improve and expand access to low cost and free health care in developing areas.

Water & Sanitation
We support local solutions to bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to more people every day. We don’t just build wells and walk away. We share our expertise with community leaders and educators to make sure our projects succeed long-term.

Maternal & Child Health
Nearly 6 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. We expand access to quality care, so mothers and their children can live and grow stronger.

Supporting Education
More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.

Economic Development
We carry out service projects that enhance economic and community development and create opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old. We also strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.

Environment
Rotarians understand that the whole world is their backyard. We can see the effects of climate change in communities we care about, and we haven’t waited to take action. We’re tackling the problem the way we always do: coming up with projects, using our connections to change policy — and planning for the future. “It is time for us to use our collective resources to invest in a smart and efficient way to protecting our environment,” says Huang. “We are qualified to take this initiative because we are a global group of problem solvers with diversified talents.” Creating a distinct area of focus to support the environment will give Rotary members even more ways to bring about positive change in the world and increase our impact.
