WHO ARE WE?

The Rotaract Club of Colombo is the first and oldest Rotaract Club in Sri Lanka, and the third in South Asia. Established on 9th September 1969, we are a registered non-profit social service organisation under Rotary International and fall under the guardianship of the Rotary Club of Colombo (founded in 1929). The Club aims to develop effective leaders and promote responsible citizenship to maintain international understanding and peace. We continue our proud legacy as a group of young professionals committed to personal, professional and community development. Meetings are usually held once a month on Tuesdays.
