Polio Plus - Our Foundation at Work!
In 1985, Rotary International launched PolioPlus — a 20-year commitment to eradicate polio. PolioPlus is one of the most ambitious humanitarian undertakings ever made by a private entity. It will serve as a paradigm for private/public collaborations in the fight against disease well into the 21st century. US$340 million committed to date . . . .US$500 million by 2006.

As the polio eradication program grew, so did Rotary's commitment and involvement. By 1990, Rotary moved from providing vaccine to children in developing countries against poliomyelitis, to assisting health care workers in the field, providing training for laboratory personnel to track the polio virus and working with governments around the world in supporting the historic health drive. Rotary looks to celebrate the global eradication of polio in the year 2008.
