Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 30 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.
As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, Rotary has:
↘Reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project in the Philippines in 1979
💉Helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries
💲Contributed more than $1.8 billion toward eradicating the disease worldwide
Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
