Today marks World Polio Day - one day, one focus: ending polio 🤝
Polio is a highly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. The virus is spread from person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can attack the nervous system, and in some instances, lead to paralysis.
We’re closer than ever to eradicating polio worldwide, but we’re not there yet. We still need funds to continue immunisations and surveillance efforts.
Thanks to 2-to-1 matched funding from the Gates Foundation, every £1/€1 donated to end polio will become £3/€3 - tripling your impact!
Every donation goes towards vaccines, transport and everything that is needed in the fight to eradicate the disease 🧪
Please donate to support Rotary in the global effort to end polio now:
