Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 30 years, and we’ve made incredible progress in the fight to rid the world of it forever.

As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've helped to reduced polio cases by more than 99.9 percent.

It’s crucial to eliminate polio from the last three countries where it remains endemic and 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.

What are Rotary clubs and Rotarians being asked to do?

  • Rotary club and Rotarian participation in this effort is crucial to making PolioPlus a success.
  • Each club is challenged to raise a minimum  $25 per capita annually for PolioPlus.
