We're proud to share the incredible global impact Rotary has made on children's health
For decades, we've worked tirelessly with partners to virtually eradicate polio, a disease that once paralysed hundreds of thousands of children every year.
With over 2.5 billion children vaccinated through the Rotary Initiated End Polio Now programme, this is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we unite for a shared vision. Join us in celebrating this dedication and keep pushing to end polio for good!
Every year Rotary Clubs support this special day by planting crocus corms in parks, commons and community spaces for public awareness of our mission to eradicate Polio worldwide.
