The eradication of Polio


After 25 years of hard work, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of eradicating this tenacious disease, but a strong push is needed now to root it out once and for all. It is a window of opportunity of historic proportions.
 
Reaching the ultimate goal of a polio-free world presents on-going challenges, not the least of which is a hundreds of million dollar funding gap. Of course, Rotary alone can't fill this gap, but continued Rotarian advocacy for government support can help enormously.

As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk. The stakes are that high.

Plimmerton Rotarians work tirelessly to find ways to raise money to help to eradicate this disease. If you think there is anything you can do to help, please contact us.
