In 1985, when Rotary launched its Polio eradication program, there were an estimated 350,000 new cases of Polio in 125 countries. Last year 1,263 cases were reported. More than one million Rotary members have volunteered their time or donated money to immunize two billion children in 122 countries. In 1988, Rotary money and its example were the catalyst for a global eradication drive joined by the World Health Organization, Unicef, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. In 2000 Rotary teamed up with the United Nations Foundation to raise $100 million for the program. By the time the world is certified as Polio-free probably in the years to come.
