“If mothers are empowered and healthy, so are their families, leading to an alleviation of poverty and hunger.”
- Robert Zinser, co-founder of the Rotarian Action Group for Population and Development and retired president for Asia at chemical giant BASF

An estimated 5.9 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, inadequate health care, and poor sanitation. Every day hundreds of mothers risk their lives giving birth.
All of this can be prevented and Rotary Clubs are working round the clock towards this. Rotary provides immunizations and antibiotics to babies, improves access to essential medical services, and supports trained health care providers for mothers and their children. Members provide education, birth kits, and mobile health clinics. Women are taught how to prevent mother-to-infant HIV transmission, how to breastfeed, and how to protect themselves and their children from disease.

Encourage your friends, relatives, neighbours, and business associates to:
Join Rotary and help save mothers and children. AND TO
