Rotary Clubs Gift Newborns in B&H Cities
As part of the celebration marking 120 years of the Rotary movement, Rotary clubs in Bosnia and Herzegovina organized a traditional initiative to gift newborns born on February 23. The initiative, named "Rotary Babies 2025", aims to support families and promote birth rates in the country. As part of this joint effort by the Rotary community in BiH, 65 newborns were gifted in Sarajevo, East Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Tuzla, Bihać, Brčko, Bijeljina, Doboj, and Zenica. In Sarajevo and East Sarajevo, the activities were organized by Rotary Club Sarajevo and Rotary Club Sarajevo International Delta.
The initiative includes symbolic gifts and support for families of babies born on this special day, carrying a message of solidarity and togetherness. Through this action, Rotary clubs across BiH reaffirm their long-standing commitment to humanitarian work and improving the quality of life in local communities.
The "Rotary Babies 2025" initiative holds special significance as it is being organized in a year of a major jubilee – the 120th anniversary of the founding of the Rotary movement, a global network of people dedicated to creating positive change in the world. The Rotary movement was founded on February 23, 1905, in Chicago and today operates as a global network of over 1.4 million members in more than 200 countries. Rotary clubs are recognized for their commitment to humanitarian projects, promoting peace, fighting diseases, providing clean water, and supporting education. The "Rotary Babies 2025" initiative is yet another step toward strengthening these values in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
