The World Rotary Builds

Every meeting in Pageland is connected to 1.4 million Rotarians working in 200 countries to end polio, fight poverty, educate children, and build peace. Your Founding Charter Membership makes this possible.

The Greatest Public Health Achievement of Our Time

Rotary is Ending Polio.

In 1985, polio paralyzed hundreds of thousands of children every year. Rotary launched Polio Plus, one of the most ambitious health campaigns in human history.

Today, polio cases have been reduced by more than 99.9%. This miracle happened because 1.4 million Rotarians, in clubs exactly like the one being built in Pageland, said enough and got to work.

  • More than 2.5 billion children immunized worldwide
  • $2.1 billion contributed by Rotary to the campaign
  • Partnership with WHO, UNICEF, CDC, and the Gates Foundation
  • 99.9% reduction in global polio cases since 1988
