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
. Rotary members expand access to quality care, so mothers and children
everywhere can have the same opportunities for a healthy future
. Members provide 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.
During April, Rotary Maternal and Child Health Month,
take action to support mothers and children!
If your club or district needs help from sector experts to start
a large-scale project focused on maternal and child health
Action Groups are organized by committed Rotarians
, Rotarians’ family members, and Rotary program participants
and alumni who have expertise and a passion for a particular type of service
. Learn about our current Groups with expertise in maternal
and child health, and contact them directly for assistance
with starting a new, or expanding an existing, initiative:
· With 13,500 worldwide members, the
has the largest membership of any action group.
RFPD assists with projects addressing the intersection
of unsustainable development, human suffering, and overpopulation,
such as access to health services.
that clubs/districts can help sponsor.
is focused on reducing child and maternal mortality.
The group is working with clubs and districts to provide education
and promote awareness of prenatal care.
and aims to raise public awareness about clubfoot deformity
to reduce associated stigma.
The group can also help clubs and districts conduct a community assessment,
identify international partners, incorporate sustainability components,
secure funding, advise on Global Grant applications,
create a plan for monitoring and evaluation, promote
an ongoing/completed project, and speak or present
at meetings/events on the topic.
Looking for some inspiration?
Here are just a few examples of Rotary projects
that are saving mothers and children:
organized an informational session on the psychological benefits
of breast feeding for mothers and babies.
The session was led by healthcare staff with the support
of Rotarians, spouses and Rotaractors.
30 women from the local community who had either recently had a baby
or were pregnant attended the session,
and were all given a breast pump and additional gifts to adjust to life as new mothers.
· Many girls from low income families in Bangladesh
cannot afford sanitary products during their menstrual cycle.
Oftentimes, girls and women resort to using dry leaves,
which are very unhygienic. In many cases,
girls also miss school while menstruating, which halts their education.
The Rotary Club of Bhairab Khulna, in collaboration
with three other Rotary clubs
for girls at the local school.
The clubs organized an open discussion with the girls
where a doctor shared personal hygiene suggestions.
After the seminar, the clubs established a “Pad Corner” in the school.
Through this pad corner, the girls had access
to sanitary napkins right at school.
· The Rotary Club of Butwal-Downtown worked
with theRotaract Club of Butwal Ramapithecus
and the Siddartha Children and Woman Hospital in Nepa
471 children and women benefitted from the services provided
including family planning, ultrasounds, x-rays,
and overall health screenings.
