End Polio Now program Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Rotary’s goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, Rotary has reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.
