10. 6 Areas of TRF Focus Peace and conflict prevention/resolution Disease prevention and treatment Water and sanitation Maternal and child health Basic education and literacy Economic and community development

11. Promoting Peace • Today, 42 million people are displaced by armed conflict or persecution. • Through our partnerships with several leading universities, Rotary Peace Fellows develop • the skills to strengthen peace efforts, • train local leaders to prevent and mediate conflict, • support long-term peace building in areas affected by conflict. • We provide up to 100 peace fellowships per year at Rotary Peace Centres

12. Fighting disease • More than 100 million people are pushed into poverty each year because of medical costs. • We aim to improve and expand access to low-cost and free health care in underdeveloped areas. • Our members educate and mobilize communities to help prevent the spread of major diseases such as polio, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. • Many of our projects ensure that medical training facilities are located where the workforce lives.

13. Providing clean water More than 2.5 million people lack access to adequate sanitation facilities. • At least 3,000 children die each day from diarrheal diseases caused by unsafe water. • Our projects give communities the ability to • develop and maintain sustainable water and sanitation systems and • support studies related to water and sanitation.

14. Saving mothers and children • At least 7 million children under the age of five die each year due to malnutrition, poor health care, and inadequate sanitation. • To help reduce this rate, we provide • immunizations and antibiotics to babies, • improve access to essential medical services, • support trained health care providers for mothers and their children. • Our projects ensure sustainability by empowering the local community to take ownership of health care training programs.

15. Supporting education • Sixty-seven million children worldwide have no access to education • More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. • We aim to strengthen the capacity of communities to • support basic education and literacy, • reduce gender disparity in education, • and increase adult literacy.

16. Growing local economies • Nearly 1.4 billion employed people live on less than $1.25 a day. • We carry out service projects that enhance economic and community development and develop opportunities for decent and productive work for young and old. • We also help strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.
