Rotary, along with our partners, has reduced polio cases by 99% worldwide since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. We are close to eradicating polio, but there are still active cases of polio being reported and we your help or the final push to eradicate this dreaded disease!
Why Purple Pinkie? Every time a child is immunized, their pinkies are marked purple ink to show that they are safe from this crippling and deadly disease. Now with new reports of polio amongst the refugees, it continues to be of importance to help us fight. The polio cases represented by the remaining one percent are the most difficult to prevent, due to factors including geographical isolation, poor public infrastructure, armed conflict and cultural barriers. Until polio is eradicated, all countries remain at risk of outbreaks.
