At our last Zoom meeting, we had PP Michelle Tanner of Rotary Club Matamata speaking, about Rotary's Give every child a future project.
As some background, 1 child in 41 dies before they turn 5 in our Pacific Nations, with pneumonia an diarrhoea being the top killers. Zone 8 "Down Under" Centenary project is to deliver 3 vaccines (RV, PCV & HPV) to 100,000 children in 9 Pacific Island Countries (these countries determined by Unicef). This is a 3 year project that all countries will continue to do after the 3 year project finishes. The project is worth 4.5 Million, done through 24 Global Grants. Currently needing $700,000 to finish this wonderful project.
