8. Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV

9. Projects that promote breastfeeding and other actions that prevent, reduce, and treat the effects
of malnutrition

10. Lifesaving surgeries and surgeries to address congenital problems, provided they include
assessing the beneficiaries and ensuring follow-up care
11. Projects that address environmental hazards related to the containment of infection and
transmission of disease, such as the disposal of medical waste in health care facilities

TRF considers the following activities to be outside the scope of the maternal and child health area of
focus and not eligible for global grant funding:

1. Medical missions and surgical team trips that do not provide significant capacity-building in the
project country, except for lifesaving surgeries and surgeries to address congenital problems
2. Garden projects, food supplements, and school-based nutrition programs

3. Eco-stove or indoor stove-top projects

4. Playgrounds and general childhood exercise and wellness projects
5. Nonconventional or alternative therapies for treatment of physical and mental disabilities, unless
they include clinical protocols supervised by health care professionals

6. Sexual and reproductive health projects for adolescents, unless they are carried out within the
health care system under the supervision of licensed medical professionals

7. Furniture, supplies, and consumables, unless they are part of a larger maternal and child health
project that meets the eligibility parameters for global grants

8. General health education and public safety programs

Elements of Successful Humanitarian Projects and Vocational Training Teams

Maternal and child health global grants are:

1. Sustainable — Communities can address their maternal and child health needs after the Rotary
club or district completes its work.
2. Measurable — Sponsors need to set targets and identify measurements to track project outcomes.
Standard measures are listed in the Global Grant Monitoring and Evaluation Plan Supplement.

3. Community-driven — Projects meet the needs identified by the host community.

Elements of Successful Scholarships

Global grants support graduate-level scholarships for professionals interested in pursuing careers related
