Rotary Education - Polio Plus

Polio Plus is an initiative started by Rotary in 1985 to immunize children against polio. At the time there were more than 125 countries that were polio-endemic with over $350,000 children paralyzed by the disease each year. Today there are only four countries that are still polio-endemic: Afghanistan, Nigeria, Pakistan, and India. Rotarians not only raise the funds but they also contribute their time and own personal resources to volunteer at mass immunization days.
