ROTARY

The most notable current globe project, Polio Plus, is contributing to the global eradication of polio. Since beginning the project in 1985, Rotarians have contributed over US$ 850 million and tens of thousands of volunteer-hours, leading to the inoculation of more than two billion of the world's children. Inspired by Rotary's commitment, the World Health Organization (WHO) passed a resolution in 1988 to eradicate polio by 2000. Now a partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) with WHO, UNICEF and the US Centers, Rotary is recognized by the United Nations as the key private partner in the eradication effort... Rotary is an International humanitarian service organization. Solving real problems take real commitment and vision.
