About Us In-house Magazine Published by Rtn. Naveen Chandra M S Hon. Secretary Rotary Mysore Midtown, JLB Road Mysore 570004.
Muslim and Christian women work together to prevent dengue fever in
Indonesia
In a world where intolerance and violence fueled by religious differences are
seemingly increasing, one Rotary club in Indonesia is showing how diversity can
help prevent a pandemic threat.
When the Rotary Club of Solo Kartini in Surakarta, Indonesia, formed 25 years ago,
its members drew criticism from the predominantly Muslim community.
The club’s members were mostly Christians, atypical for a country where more than
80 percent of the population is Muslim. Religious leaders were skeptical of Rotary’s
secular mission and wary of intrusion.
Undeterred, the club started recruiting more members. Today, the 72-member, all-
female club includes both Muslims and Christians.
And the effort they have put into breaking down barriers and fostering respect and
understanding among club members has reinforced the club’s capacity to address
dengue fever, one of the biggest public health threats in tropical cities like
Surakarta.
Dengue fever is a virus transmitted by mosquitos that flourish in tropical urban
environments like Surakarta. There is no effective treatment; once infected, victims
experience sudden high fevers, severe headaches, joint and muscle pain, fatigue,
nausea, and vomiting.
Launching an effective public health initiative to prevent the disease requires
volunteers with deep knowledge and connections to the community who can craft
specific and sustainable solutions. And that means being able to build relationships
across religious, cultural and socio-economic lines.
A great year coming to
an end with
Harish - Aiyanna duo
doing a stupendous job
by carrying the club on
their shoulders
with ease!
