Polio 2022/2023

We extended our fundraising partnership

with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

toward ending polio and committed to raising US$50 million per year

over the next three years, with each Rotary dollar

matched by two additional dollars from the Gates Foundation

. Global support for polio eradication

reached new heights at the World Health Summit in October,

when Rotary, international partners, and donors pledged.

a combined US$2.6 billion towards polio eradication.

On World Polio Day (24 October),

Rotary clubs in 118 countries hosted an event.

in their community and members

donated US$750,000 to PolioPlus.

Members also helped raise awareness about polio eradication.

on social media, with our content on Facebook, Instagram,

and Twitter reaching more than 31 million people.

During World Immunization Week, 24-30 April,

we used our global platforms to highlight the importance of vaccines.

Vaccinations have made it possible for polio cases to decline.

by 99.9% worldwide and to save an estimated

20 million children from becoming paralysed by polio.

Last night we were delighted to induct Nina Atiya as a member.

Nina is pictured here with Induction officer.

HUNTER VALLEY BUS TRAGEDY

It has been with much sadness that the Hunter Valley

has been impacted upon by the devastating bus crash.

that has so far claimed 11 lives.

Rotary’s response has been swift with a

project being launched in the record time of 16 hours.

to prepare and lodge the project.
