Again this year, we will celebrate the hard work of those who work tirelessly to see that Rotary's goal to End Polio comes true. We must fulfill the promise we made to the Children of the World, back in 1985.
More than half the amount The Rotary Foundation spent last year was for polio eradication.
Immunizing over 800 million children every year is an expensive proposition. Some of the cost is for the development and production of the vaccine, transportation, refrigeration, coolers, constant evaluation of the program and stipends for front line workers, who gain the trust of the parents to allow their children to be immunized. Thankfully through our good relations, security for workers is provided by local governments.
Because there are many places in the world today, that create barriers to immunizing all the children, it is challenging to continue to make headway.
Our partners along with Rotary International, are totally committed and will see this through, but we need your support. Please help with your donations to Polio Plus whenever you can. Together, we will get this done.
