Organization Description
Rotary is a global network of people determined to contribute to social development and world peace through their different professions. This Foundation was founded in commemoration of the achievements of Sir Umekichi Yoneyama, a businessman who contributed to founding Japan’s first Rotary Club; now, Rotary Clubs are in more than 200 countries and regions worldwide. The number of clubs reached over 36,600 and over 1,193,804 members as of April 16, 2021.
This Foundation supports international students in achieving high academic achievements and teaches the spirit of Rotary through exchanges with counselors and sewa clubs to deepen mutual international understanding and improve bonds to grow into a bridge between the students’ birth country and Japan.
