“What is the value of the life of one child saved?
No one will ever know, but if the child were our own, the price tag would be marked: Not for sale – this life is invaluable.”

In working to improve the health of women, particularly in developing countries, governments face a monumental challenge. Limited resources, insufficient training, and poor infrastructure are just some of the obstacles to advancements in the field of female medicine. It is a goal of Rotary International, a worldwide association of service-minded business and professional people, to facilitate efforts to bring medical care to women and girls and to help them to build all-around healthy lives. This article gives background on Rotary International and highlights some of the ways Rotarians are using their resources, their global network, and their professional expertise to advance and promote women's health.

Whitehorse Rotaract, Rotary Clubs of Nunawading, Forest Hill, Mitcham, Mont Albert & Surry Hills, Box Hill- Burwood, Box Hill Central, Lions clubs in Whitehorse, and other groups and individuals in the community, have once again combined to help those in need – this time to raise sufficient funds to buy a truck for Eastern Emergency Relief Network (EERN).
The new truck will be used to pick up unwanted goods from households in the community and recycle them to those who need support in setting up a home.
On March 25 about 70 delighted supporters, including DG Ken Miller and many members of Whitehorse Rotary clubs, attended the launch of the new truck.
Here is how this all came about:
Twenty-eightyears ago Keith Rooney had a vision. Many good quality household items
were going to landfill and this waste upset him. Why not, instead, recycle them to the needy?
He started collecting items in his garage and networking with service clubs and charity organisations to distribute them free of charge to those in the community requiring emergency relief andassistance. So began his lifetimepassion– to help others though his beloved Eastern Emergency Relief Network (EERN).
Gradually EERN grew and transformed into what it is today– twowarehouses in Mitcham, 60 volunteers, 113 member agencies and a record of assistance to more than 60,000 individuals and families over that time.
EERN now recycles good quality second hand furniture and soft furnishings, electronics and whitegoods, kitchen items, hygiene packs and non-perishable food.
The EERN model has been adopted in other areas. In 2015 the Western Emergency Relief Network was formed, then in 2021 the Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network commenced.
EERN has no recurrent funding, but raises some revenue from membership fees and selling scrap metal. It is supported by the wider community, other not-for-profit organisations, councils, and individual households.
Over the years financial, volunteer and governing assistance has been consistently provided by service clubs. The Rotary Club of Nunawading and TheLions Club of Nunawading have been the longest-term supporters, with other Rotary and Lions clubs in the area also providing both monetary and in-kind aid.
About two years ago, the Committee of Management realised their ancient truck needed replacing. Maintenance was becoming too costly.
Approaches were made to Lions and Rotary
clubs for funding assistance. Their very generous collective contributions, along with a Lions Grant, made up the greater proportion of the funding. The City of Maroondah also helped with a one-off grant and individual donors provided the rest.
After much research, the Committee purchased a Fuso truck with a side door and an all-important lifter at the back for heavy items. It was fit for purpose, was delivered in a reasonable time, and the cost was only $83,000.
The tailgate now proudly lists the clubs and other organisations who have made a contribution either as long-term EERN supporters or to the truck purchase.
Gabby Knaepple, EERN’s Secretary said
“EERN’s Committee of Management and volunteers are so grateful to Rotary, Lions and others in the community for their support in helping us continue to assist those in need with compassion andrespect”
GlenysGrantRotaryClubofForestHillsThis recently completed project involved sending A$6000 to the Rotary Club of Taveuni to disburse via their existing AssistanceProject(Secondary Student Scholarship Project) to supply school supplies to students in need as a result of financial hardship caused by Cyclone Yasa (December 2020) and Cyclone Anna (January 2021), and more recently the COVID pandemic.
The Rotary Club of Wandin applied and was approved for a Foundation Grant to cover half the cost of this project. The Rotary Clubs of Wandin and Boronia each supplied one quarter of the remaining monies necessary. Wandin Rotary raised money via a film night screening the latest James Bond film; a great night was enjoyed by the many Rotarians and Friends attending. Boronia Rotary sought a number of public donations and conducted Club events to raise the money.
Forty families were chosen as beneficiaries of this part of the overall project. Each family had to complete an application form, attend an in-person interview, supply evidence of past school achievements and basically agree to support their child in the coming year of study. Each child agreed to attend school and do their very best to make the Rotary contribution worthwhile.
The local school Head Teachers and staff provided the Rotary Club with general information about students and family needs as part of the selection process. The most needy were identified by their local schools and reported to the Rotary Club for consideration for assistance.
subsistence living conditions. The benefits of this project are that some 40 children will receive a secondary year of education in 2022 and thus commence and continuetheir path to a better future.
Cyclone Yasa (December 2020) and Cyclone Anna (January 2021) devastated the food and Kava crops on Taveuni Island; as a consequence, the income of the farming families was reduced to ZERO. The selling of food and Kava returns cash to the island, thereby providing families with the ability to live and send their children to school. Of particular note is Secondary School where uniforms and materials must be provided by the families or the student cannot attend.
A small amount of cash continued to come into the island from family members working in hospitality roles on the main island Viti Levu. However, following on the heal of the cyclones, the COVID pandemic struck the islands. In response, Fiji closed its borders and the need for hospitality workers ceased. Family members from the outer islands were thus out of work and the only way to survive was to quickly return to Taveuni island and live with their families; again, no cash was coming in.

The next shock was schools closing for the best part of 2021. Many of the larger schools were converted into quarantine facilities for those returning to Taveuni. As a consequence, 2021 was the “year from hell” for school children on Taveuni. No facilities exist for remote learning and the year passed with little to no ability to facilitate student learning. The support project was delayed whilst Rotary ensured that once learning commenced the right students had the assistance they needed to be able to continue.
The good news is that on 11th April 2022 all schools on Taveuni Island commenced their 2022 year. Rotary has thus been able to finalise the project and 40 recipients have returned to school as planned, albeit some 12 months later that we would have liked. COVID did delay the project but the expected results have now been fully achieved.
Thephotosshowthreeveryhappystudentsand averyhappyMumcollectingsomeoftheir materialsforthenewschoolyear.
Following three cyclones and now COVID restrictions and infections, the families on Taveuni Island are struggling with loss of family incomes. It is a real crisis for many families to afford to send their children to secondary school, to afford the cost for books and uniforms, etc.
To assist them we are raising money for the ongoing Taveuni Island School AssistanceProject ; 2022 is now set but 2023 is looking very short of funds as the needs are continuing. Donate here if you wish to support any of the Rotary Club of Boronia Fiji Projects, including theSchoolAssistanceProject(Donations are Tax Deductible). April 2022

Routine child weighingfor growth monitoring and promotion (GMP) exercise at Dei Dei Comprehensive Health Centre, Abuja, Nigeria. February 2022. This activity is part of a larger maternal and child health program led by the Rotary Action Group for Reproductive, Maternal and Child Health (RMCH) and Rotary District 1860 in Germany and Rotary District 9125 in Nigeria, in partnership with the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Health. The goal is to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality in the targeted areas in Nigeria by 25%, reaching 2.3 million people with key messages and services aimed at increasing the number of families participating in continued clinical care through formal health system services. The program is the recipient of the 2021-22 Rotary Foundation Programs of Scale grant.
The Rotary Action Group for Reproductive, Maternal and Child Health (RMCH RAG) has been working for more than 25 years in Nigeria on Rotary member-led projects addressing this problem, but partial solutions in limited settings were not enough. So RMCH RAG members inNigeria and globally stood together to say enough to the 67,000 maternal deaths occurring annually in Nigeria through the
In this program, we want to:
Improve awareness of and access to quality reproductive, maternal, and child health services in health facilities and the community; Improve voluntary access to modern contraceptives to all women and their partners to delay, space, or limit pregnancies; Sustainably strengthen national health systems by engagingall relevant stakeholders and partners in improving care in the public and private sectors; Document the impact of scaling and replication of the program using data from the national information platform on Maternal, Perinatal, and Child Death Surveillance and Response (MPCDSR).
Why did we commit the Rotary Action Group for RMCH and districts together in support of one of the most challenging development issues in Nigeria? There are benefits to our joint effort:
The Rotary Action Group offers familiarity with large national programs in a range of country health systems as well as literature on best practices and approaches for achieving scale and sustainability.
The Rotary Action Group brings together global and national partnerships with policymakers, community leaders, health
providers, and professional organizations to produce impacts at scale and sustain these efforts to virtually end preventable maternal and infant deaths in Nigeria.
The Rotary Action Group is committed to learning and adjusting program plans based on our experience with care at the facility and community levels, using data coming from the cases of mothers’ and infants’ deaths through the MPCDSR.
We know that to have an impacton women’s health nationally, we must think creatively and work big everywhere so that mothers and infantswould not die alone without hope.
We have two calls toaction on this International Women’s Month in 2023.
Join us in Together for Healthy Families in Nigeria to make it a model to show that women’s lives and those of their infants are indeed worth saving. Engage with us to produce biggerimpacts, quicker, and on a larger scale throughout Nigeria and Africa.
Let us commit all Rotary Action Groups to work with districts and clubs to make Programs of Scale a central strategy for achieving healthy families and communities around the world.
For more information about our Program of Scale “Together for Healthy Families in Nigeria” and the Rotary Action Group for Reproductive, Maternal and Child Health, please contact us byemail (Past District Governor Emmanuel Lufadeju and RMCH Chair John Townsend). You can review our progress on the RMCH RAG website.

In 1959, the State Government of Queensland invited local Rotary Clubs to help plan anevent to help celebrate the upcoming centennial of the state. Princess Alexandra, who was in her early 20s was due to attend the celebrations, so activities were planned specifically for the princess’s age group.
The Gundoo, an aboriginal word meaning “festival” or “fun together,” was deemed successful with more than 300 men and women between the ages of 17 and 23 attending. Encouraged by the event’s popularity with the young attendees, Rotary saw potential to create anannual youth program based on Gundoo.
The District Governor of the then District 260, Art Brand,approved the project and on 2 May 1960, RYLA was an official Rotary project.
Through Rotarians’ constant belief in the potential of youth, RYLA has since become an opportunity to help the next generation of leaders define themselves and expand their skills. Officially adopted by Rotary International in 1971, this exciting program engages Rotary clubs and districts around the world. RYLA is one of Rotary’s most prestigious leadership opportunities for young people.
RYLA today is one of District 9810’s most important Youth Services projects. It has been running for many years and is strongly supported by the Rotary Clubs across the district.
