Last week, I had the opportunity to speak at the Rotary Zones 30-31 Institute in Huntsville, Alabama! Nowhere is the "Power of We" more visible than the Rotary-UNICEF partnership. As spearheading partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, UNICEF, Rotary and other partners help vaccinate over 400 million children globally against polio every year. For 35 years, UNICEF and Rotary have joined together to end polio, a disease that is now endemic in only two remaining countries. We are so close. Thank you to Rotary for its leadership in this fight. #Rotary #unicefusa #partnership

In Sierra Leone, Rotary is making a difference by training over 650 health workers in life-saving newborn resuscitation techniques 💛 Perinatal asphyxia is a leading cause of neonatal mortality. Through the Helping Babies Breathe program, Rotary members in Sierra Leone and North America are equipping nurses, midwives, and healthcare professionals with the skills needed to respond quickly and effectively when newborns struggle to breathe. This initiative is a crucial step in reducing infant mortality and improving health outcomes for families across the country. Learn more about the project: https://lnkd.in/grBeVsCt

More than half of surveyed young farmers met the criteria for depression, and 71 percent showed signs of generalized anxiety disorder, a 2018 study found. The Rotary Club of Iowa Great Lakes (Spirit Lake) is working to support and destigmatize farmer's mental health struggles. When farmers delivered harvests to local cooperatives in Dickinson County, Iowa, in 2022, many left with something unexpected: a goody bag provided by a local Rotary club, each bag contained goodies and a small card that read: “Work in Agriculture Can be Stressful. It’s Okay to Ask for Help.” On the other side was a QR code to access a list of local mental health resources. 👨🌾 Farmers are finding support tailored to the stresses of rural life. 🔗 Read more in our latest collaboration with Reasons to be Cheerful: on.rotary.org/3Tnm21l
