Saving Mothers and Children
Rotary makes high-quality health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer and grow stronger.
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.
Nearly 6 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. We expand access to quality care, so mothers and their children can live and grow stronger.
Rotary clubs around the world do amazing things like providing mobile prenatal clinics, cancer screening, and programs to prevent injuries and death during deliveries.
