ROTARY'S IMPACT ON EDUCATION: The Rotary Foundation supports education through scholarships, donations, and service projects around the world.

Rotary members make amazing things happen, like:

Rotary Supports Mothers and Babies

Rotary Supports Mothers and Babies Maternal and child care is one of Rotary's six areas of focus. Rotary makes health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer ...

The Rotary Foundation reaches mothers and children in need by giving communities the help and training they need to take control of their own maternal and infant health care.

Healing scars of War.

In the mountains of Poland, 26 children traumatized by violence get a chance to be kids again at Rotary camp.

Children are more vulnerable to the psychological trauma of war, often causing them to withdraw, experts say. Re-establishing emotional connections is critical to healing. If left untreated, isolated children are more likely to experience domestic violence, addiction, and job loss later in life, research shows.

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

April is Maternal and Child Health Month.

At least 7 million children under the age of five die each year due to malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. To help reduce this rate, Rotary International provide immunizations and antibiotics to babies, improve access to essential medical services, and support trained health care providers for mothers and their children. Their projects ensure sustainability by empowering the local community to take ownership of health care training programs.

Wishing Everyone a Happy Easter!

Together, civil society and the public sector can make a difference in water, sanitation and hygiene.

Save the date for World Immunization Week 2022!

Our fight to is proof that vaccines work. Join us in promoting the power of vaccines to protect children and save lives.
