50th Anniversary of Rotary International (1955)
Founded in Chicago in 1905 by Paul P. Harris, Rotary International expanded worldwide as a humanitarian service organization dedicated to fellowship, community service, and professional integrity. During the 1930s to 1950s, Rotary clubs were established in Morocco’s major urban centers—such as Casablanca, Rabat, and Tangier—engaging business leaders in community development, public health, and vocational support initiatives.
