Lives are already being saved thanks to the Papua New Guinea Snakebite Partnership, supported by Rotary.
A 4-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy are among the survivors.
Last year, the partnership delivered 497 vials of antivenom to 40 health facilities across 14 provinces, trained 887 health workers across 13 provinces and visited 52 health facilities.
A ventilator was also provided, which has been used more than 25 times for snakebite victims.
Our centenary projected protect 100,000 children from across nine South Pacific Island countries over three years in partnership with UNICEF.
The “Say NO to domestic and family violence and YES to respectful relationships” campaign aims to end domestic violence while supporting those affected by it. Domestic violence is experienced in all communities, and we are working hard on programs that will educate all, particularly young people, about respectful relationships.
Rotary is always ready to take action to help communities recover when disasters strike. We respond by asking “what do you need” and work with others to give immediate and ongoing help.
