ROTARY GIVES EVERY CHILD A FUTURE PROJECT
​

Picture
The only Rotary Australasia Centenary project to span Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, ‘Rotary Give Every Child A Future’ will, through our partner UNICEF, introduce three life-saving vaccines to nine Pacific Island countries.

Rotary will fund this $4.5 million project for three years after which, each country will continue to fund their vaccine programmes, making this a sustainable project with the potential to save lives for generations.

100,000 children across the nine South Pacific countries will benefit from pneumococcal, rotavirus and HPV vaccines to prevent pneumonia and diarrhoea (the leading cause of death in under-fives) and cervical cancer, which claims many more lives in the Pacific than in countries like Australia and New Zealand.
 
The Rotary Club of Holroyd saw this project as a wonderful way for us to be part of this ground breaking vaccination programme in the South Pacific and at the same time celebrate 100 years of Rotary in Australasia.
 
The cost of the vaccination for each child is A$45.  The Holroyd Rotary Club has decided to support this programme by donating A$45 on behalf of each member of the club.

​We want to ensure that vaccinating children against Rotavirus and Pneumococcal bacteria will reduce illness and deaths from gastroenteritis, pneumonias, meningitis and bacteraemia.

​We want to ensure that our donation will strengthen the immunisation programs in each country so that these vaccines continue to be delivered to future generations of children.
