Rotary's theme for April is Maternal and Child Health. Rotary makes high-quality health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer and grow stronger. We expand access to quality care, so mothers and children everywhere can have the same opportunities for a healthy future. 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. Last year, the Rotary Foundation funded 129 global grants in this focus area in the amount of $8.4 million.
