Why Purple? The colour purple has been chosen because that is the colour that children's fingers are dyed once they have been inoculated against polio!
Your donation helps Rotary reach every child with the polio vaccine.
Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 30 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.
As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, Rotary has:
Reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project in the Philippines in 1979
Helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries
Contributed more than $1.8 billion toward eradicating the disease worldwide
Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.
Thank you! With your help we raised a total of CAD 25 for Polio Fund.
