Our club is one out of 70 Rotary clubs in the Rotary International District 3220 (Sri Lanka & Maldives). The club which was chartered in 1929 as the first club in Ceylon (as it was then known) currently has an active membership of 109 leading businessman and professionals who are engaged in serving the community. The membership also consists of honorary members who are Ambassadors and High Commissioners representing different countries.
Through the seven focus areas set by Rotary International namely: Water & Sanitation, Maternal & Child Health, Peace & Conflict Prevention/Resolution; Disease Prevention & Treatment; Basic Education & Literacy; Economic & Community Development and Supporting the Environment – we strive to recognize a need and work towards mobilising solutions to fulfil it.
