 Rotary clubs all over the world work with communities to advance local economies. Every community has different needs and different opportunities for service. Unemployment, underemployment, lack of economic opportunity, lack of appropriate training, and the absence of social safety nets lie at the core of poverty. For the poor, labor is often the only option to improve their well-being. Creating productive employment opportunities is essential for reducing poverty, achieving sustainable economic and social development, and providing income security and empowerment, especially for women, people with disabilities, youth, and the extremely poor.
