End Polio Now

In 1985, with the launch of its flagship PolioPlus program, Rotary became the visionary organization to take on the ambitious goal to end polio worldwide. At that time, polio crippled more than 350,000 children per year in 125 countries. Over the next 30 years, we have mobilized other partners, governments, and communities to immunize the world’s children against polio. We’ve kept our promise to work toward eradicating this disease, and the leadership, commitment, and generosity of Rotary members has brought the world 99.9 percent of the way there.

 

RCPI contributes regularly to End Polio Now through meeting collections. Each year, the RCPI donates about 17,000 CZK on top of the regular contributions to the Polio, collected at its common meetings -"Vesela koruna".
