Why: Rotary International’s Global Eradication of Polio initiative since its first vaccination started in 1979 has reduced Polio cases to 99.9%, & Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary's advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort.

Today, polio remains endemic in Afghanistan and Pakistan and more recently has surfaced in Gaza. It’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. Your support is crucial in our fight to End Polio Now.
