Rotary International is a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change in communities at home and abroad. It is a non-profit organization, founded in 1905, that aims to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and advance goodwill and peace around the world.
Our Fellowship has successfully achieved its primary objective of increasing the national profile and popularity of the sport of badminton in Ethiopia. Through the hosting of tournaments, and the provision of resources to local clubs, we have helped to cultivate an international network of racqueteers, coaches and aficionados. In addition, fostering connections between badminton professionals and organizations around the world.

The fellowship is run by a council of Rotarians, who oversee the operation and day-to-day management of the RFOB. We work to promote the sport of badminton at the grassroots level, establishing clubs and tournament scenes in areas where there was previously no organized badminton scene. Through these clubs and tournaments it fosters international fellowship, while simultaneously offering a platform to showcase and celebrate the talent of badminton racqueters around the world. In addition to running tournaments, our fellowship has also increased visibility for the sport through its social media engagement.
Our fellowship started in District 9212, Ethiopia.
