| Doing Good: Supporting Maternal and Child Health |
Haiti has the highest infant and maternal mortality rates in the
Western Hemisphere. Rotarians around the world are working to reduce these rates and improve access to essential medical services for all mothers and
their children. The Rotary Foundation provided a fully
equipped medical Jeep for midwives to use to reach some of Haiti’s most remote villages. Watch a video about this project.
In honor of a special
mother in your life, please consider making a gift to support
Rotary’s work to help women and children everywhere. |
