Help eradicate polio

Polio eradication is within our grasp. But if we don’t eradicate the disease now, the risk of crippling and deadly polio outbreaks will continue to threaten the world’s children.
Learn about the challenges to polio eradication and the current strategies that Rotary and its polio eradication partners are using.
You can help Rotary get the job done by contributing to Rotary’s PolioPlus program or volunteering and creating awareness of polio.
Did you know that more than 10 million children will be paralyzed in the next 40 years if the world fails to eradicate polio? Embark on a virtual tour of “Whatever Happened to Polio?” an exhibit of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History that chronicles the history of the disease and efforts to eradicate it. The exhibit is now on permanent display at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation
