This year’s health fair aimed to increase the number of Jamaicans vaccinated against COVID-19.

At the end of the day, we vaccinated 141 persons. Our offerings also included dental services which saw 50 students between the ages of 5 – 7 benefitting from cleaning, with another 8 scheduled for follow up visit at the polyclinic. We also offered free HIV/STI testing in collaboration with ‘Bashy Bus’, a public private partnership in collaboration with the Ministry of

APRIL - MATERNAL & CHILD HEALTH MONTH

Posted by Donair Wilmouth on Apr 01, 2017

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. Rotary provides education, immunizations, birth kits, and mobile health clinics.

Women are taught how to prevent mother-to-infant HIV transmission, how to breast-feed, and how to protect themselves and their children from disease. The Rotary Foundation reaches mothers and children in need by giving communities the help and training they need to take control of their own maternal and infant health care.

MARCH - WATER AND SANITATION MONTH

Posted by Donair Wilmouth on Mar 01, 2017

Clean water and sanitation is a human right. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, they lead healthier and more successful lives.

We don’t just build wells and walk away. Rotary members integrate water, sanitation, and hygiene into education projects. When children learn about disease transmission and practice good hygiene, they miss less school. And they can take those lessons home to their families, expanding our impact.

FEBRUARY - PEACE AND CONFLICT PREVENTION/RESOLUTION MONTH

Posted by Donair Wilmouth on Feb 01, 2017

Building sustainable peace projects requires holistic thinking and a community-driven approach.  Rotarians are uniquely positioned to foster healthy, resilient and more peaceful communities.

Violent conflict can devastate a country’s society, economy and political governance. Coordinating projects that prevent or resolve conflict requires a tailored, sensitive approach. Rotarians can play a vital role in the peace building process by galvanizing members of their communities to identify and address the underlying causes of conflict.

DECEMBER - DISEASE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT MONTH

Posted by Donair Wilmouth on Nov 30, 2016
 
 
Rotary's top priority is the eradication of polio, but our members take on far greater responsibilities to fight disease. They set up health camps and training facilities in undeveloped countries and in communities struggling with HIV/AIDS and malaria. They also design and build the infrastructure for doctors, nurses, governments, and partners to reach the one in six people in the world who can't afford to pay for health care.

World Rotaract Week

Every year, Rotaractors and Rotarians around the world celebrate World Rotaract Week during the week of 13 March to commemorate the founding of the first club in 1968.

World Rotaract Week is a time for celebrating the success and importance of the Rotaract program. This event is also an excellent opportunity to inform members of your community about the amazing work that Rotaract clubs do, and give them an opportunity to get involved.

Rotaract clubs and their sponsor Rotary clubs have the freedom to explore a variety of methods of participating in World Rotaract Week. Rotaractors can decide the best way for their club to celebrate the Rotaract program – completing one, two or an entire week’s worth of activities. After the club has completed its World Rotaract Week commemorative events, the sponsor Rotary club or district Rotaract chair can download a certificate of recognition for presentation to the Rotaract club.

New Kingston Rotaract Club hosted their annual Wing Sauce Contest on March 2 2013 and provided a great fellowship of Rotaractors and Rotarians.
