Support Rotary's efforts to rid the world of polio.
Together, we end polio
Rotary’s number one humanitarian goal is to rid the world of polio. Rotary spearheaded the campaign at a time when there were over 1,000 polio cases a day in 125 countries, now we're on the brink of history.

WHAT IS 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.
WHY ERADICATE POLIO?
If the eradication efforts of Rotary and our partners stopped today, within 10 years as many as 200,000 new cases of paralytic polio could occur around the world each year. We have helped prevent 20 million cases of paralysis.
OUR PROVEN PROGRESS
Since Rotary launched the campaign to eradicate polio more than 40 years ago, the number of cases around the world has dropped by 99.9%. There was once 1,000 cases a day in 125 countries. Now, there are just a handful.
