Rotary makes high-quality health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer and grow stronger.

 

Rotary expands 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 malnutrition, inadequate health care, and poor sanitation — all of which can be prevented. 

There are many ways Rotary helps make this happen by providing 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.

 

As you plan future projects, what can you club contribute to helping mothers and children.
