Five directions, one mission
Integration, twinning, a global network of Ukrainian Rotarians, humanitarian aid to Ukraine and Rotary AI. Each direction brings together its own projects, partnerships, working groups and coordinators. Together they form one strategy with practical results.
Rotary International President Olayinka Hakeem Babalola calls on clubs to be more welcoming, to deliver projects with lasting effect and to let Rotary change us. RCMIP’s five directions answer that call directly.
Our PeopleSocial adaptation and integration of migrants
Language, work and a network in a new country
Educational, social and professional programmes that help migrants, refugees and displaced people settle into life in Spain: Spanish courses, mentoring, employment and support for families.
Rotary areas of focus
Hermanamiento · Twin CitiesInternational twinning and partnership

A single communication and partnership network of Ukrainian Rotarians across countries: help joining local clubs, international meetings and conferences, joint initiatives of Ukrainian and foreign clubs.

Wings of HopeHumanitarian aid to Ukraine and support for those affected
Targeted, transparent, reaching every recipient
Help for children in frontline areas, elderly and lonely people and vulnerable families. The club already sends humanitarian cargo, funds charities, supports volunteers and provides vehicles for evacuation — and in 2026–27 moves from one-off appeals to long-term projects with partner clubs and Rotary Foundation grants.
- Children in frontline areas: education, psychological support and rehabilitation
- Elderly, lonely people and vulnerable families: essential supplies
- Mobilising aid through partner clubs and international organisations
