BECAUSE, EVERY DAY:                                                       
            
                             25,000  children die from preventable diseases - that's 1 every 3.5 seconds!

                               6,000  people die from diarrhoea resulting from bad water and poor sanitation!

                               7,000  people become HIV!

                               5,500  people die from AIDS!                            

                    121,000,000  children cannnot go to school!

This is in addition to  those families who lose absolutely everything they have, due to natural disasters. Many find it difficult to live with these facts......particularly when so much loss of life is easily preventable.

Rotary will, hopefully, try to respond to some of the humanitarian crises, as and when they happen!
