Polio Eradication Update
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.
As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.
Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort.
Celebrate World Polio Day on October 24 and invite your friends and family to donate to President Matt PolioPlus fundraiser concert on October 22nd.
October is Economic Development Month
Our members and our foundation work to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.
We provide training and access to well-paying jobs and financial management institutions. We create opportunities to help individuals and communities thrive financially and socially. Rotary members train people to become resources for their community, offering networking activities, advice on new business development, and mathematics and financial management training. The Rotary Foundation spent $9.2 million to grow local economies and reduce poverty last year.
