Rotary Club of Savanna-la-Mar

Savanna-la-Mar · Westmoreland · Jamaica

Service above self, one Tuesday at a time.

We are business people, professionals and community leaders from Savanna-la-Mar and across Westmoreland who meet every week, then get to work. Water and sanitation in schools. Literacy. Health screening. Scholarships. Young people learning to lead. Small, steady, local work that adds up.

Where the work goes

Rotary's seven areas of focus

Every project the club runs sits in one of these. It keeps us honest about whether a good idea is actually Rotary work.

  • 01

    Peacebuilding and conflict prevention

    Mediation training, youth dialogue, and safe-space programmes in schools.

  • 02

    Disease prevention and treatment

    Health fairs, screening drives, and our standing commitment to End Polio Now.

  • 03

    Water, sanitation and hygiene

    Tanks, taps and sanitary blocks for schools and clinics across Westmoreland.

  • 04

    Maternal and child health

    Equipment and supplies for the parish health services.

  • 05

    Basic education and literacy

    Reading rooms, book drives, and scholarships for parish students.

  • 06

    Community economic development

    Skills training and support for small and micro enterprise.

  • 07

    Supporting the environment

    Coastal clean-ups, tree planting, and climate resilience work.

The Four-Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do

  1. 1 Is it the TRUTH?
  2. 2 Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  3. 3 Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  4. 4 Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Adopted by Rotary in 1943 and still the shortest ethics policy in business. Four questions, asked of the things we think, say or do.

The youth arm

From primary school to professional life

We sponsor and mentor four programmes, each pitched at a different age. Together they form an unbroken path from primary school to professional life.

Ages 5 to 13

EarlyAct

School-based service clubs in primary schools. Children plan and run small projects for their own school and community, with a teacher advisor and a Rotarian mentor.

Ages 12 to 18

Interact

Secondary school clubs that carry out two service projects a year — one that helps the school or community, one that promotes international understanding.

Ages 18 to 30

Rotaract

The Rotaract Club of Savanna-la-Mar is our sponsored club for young men and women. Community service, professional development and leadership — plus a social calendar the senior club envies.

Ages 14 to 30

RYLA and Youth Exchange

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards is an intensive leadership camp we sponsor students to attend. Youth Exchange sends young people abroad for a term or a year, and brings students here.

Rotary membership is organised by classification — your business or profession. We actively look for classifications the club does not yet have.
