April: MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH Month

Rotary makes high-quality health care available to vulnerable mothers
and children so they can live longer and grow stronger.
We expand access to quality care, so mothers and children everywhere
can have the same opportunities for a healthy future. An estimated
5.9 million children under the age of five die each year because of
malnutrtion, inadequate health care, and poor sanitation — all of which
can be prevented.
Rotary provides education, immunizations, birth kits, and mobile health
clinics. Women are taught how to prevent mother-to-infant HIV
transmission, how to breast-feed, and how to protect themselves and their children from disease.

ROTARY GIVE EVERY CHILD A FUTURE
The Rotary Give Every Child A Future project will celebrate 100 years of Rotary service in Australia and
New Zealand and in collaboration with UNICEF, plan to vaccinate the most disadvantaged children and
adolescent girls across the Pacific. Currently 1 in 16 children die before their 5th birthday because they
are not vaccinated. Districts across Zone 8 have pledged support for this project through contributions
from District Foundation funding. Across 9 Pacific nations, we will help introduce 3 lifesaving vaccinations
to prevent diseases like cervical cancer, severe diarrhea, pneumonia, blood infection and meningitis.
Rotary’s support will also help sustain the local health system for the sustainable delivery of vaccinations
so that future generations will continue to benefit in the long term. A truly inspiring Rotary legacy.
District 9510 has pledged $15,000 for this year which matches the combined contribution by D9500 & D9520
last year. Clubs are encouraged individually to contribute to this project.
