The Rotary Club of Port Louis upholds high values of integrity, respect, fellowship and sound management, in line with Rotary International’s Four-Way Test. Our Club is also proud of its mix of members from very diverse professional and social backgrounds, and genders.
The Club’s Projects
Some of the Club’s projects have been in existence for years but every year activities are reviewed and new needs identified (please know more about the existing projects in the Projects page). Major past projects have included Métiers d’Art, Solidarité sur Roue, Fleurir Maurice and Culture Sharing for Peace and Unity.
The Club can do only a limited amount on its own and many projects can only be realised as a result of help from others, such as teachers and social workers, and with the support of public bodies and individual and private-sector sponsors – and, when appropriate, from the beneficiaries themselves.
One of the advantages the Club brings to projects is the involvement of members in project management and ensuring that funds are well spent and results achieved.
