  • In 1985, Rotary made a promise to the children of
    the world that Polio would be totally eradicated.
  • In 1988 the Global Polio Eradication Initiative
    was started.

11
  • Through the work of Rotary International and our
    partners, there are now only three countries
    remaining where the wild polio virus is endemic
  • Afghanistan
  • Nigeria
  • Pakistan

12
  • The estimate to eradicate Polio by 2018 is 5.5
    billion. 5 billion has been collected or
    pledged toward the ultimate goal.

13
What Can You Do?
  • You and every member of your club can donate.
  • Through 2018, the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation
    will offer a 2 to 1 match on donations (up to 35
    million per year). Every 1.00 donated becomes
    3.00.

14
  • The District PolioPlus committee this coming year
    will work actively and closely with each club in
    the District.
  • We are available as a resource for you.
  • We are available to present programs to your
    club.
  • We will work with you on fundraisers

15
  • The 2015-2016 PolioPlus committee members are

16
  • The Polio virus spreads easily and quickly
  • Polio was eradicated in the United States in 1979
    but Polio reestablishing in the United States is
    literally 1 plane ride away.
