End Polio Now
Since 1985, Rotary’s key humanitarian priority has been to rid the world of polio. Rotary spearheaded the global campaign to eradicate the disease and thanks to the incredible advocacy, fundraising and volunteering efforts of Rotarians, we are close to making this happen. At that time there were over 1,000 polio cases a day in 125 countries. Today, the number of cases is down by 99.99%. Further details can be found here
