As World Polio Day approaches\, the Rotary community is getting re ady to amplify our message about eradicating polio to protect the world’s children from this devastating disease. Together\, we’ve made tremendous progress. Now it’s time to intensify our fight to make polio the second human disease ever to be eradicated. Last year\, the World Health Organiz ation’s African region was certified free of wild poliovirus\, showing th at eradication is possible even in very difficult circumstances. The wild poliovirus remains endemic in just two countries: Afghanistan and Pakist an. We can use World Polio Day to advocate for the support we need to end polio in countries where it still paralyzes children. Inspire action Tak e action for World Polio Day by promoting the importance of polio eradica tion\, raising funds\, and planning events. Let’s engage our communities in the fight against polio — because as long as polio exists anywhere\, i t remains a threat everywhere. Use the World Polio Day Toolkit to find re sources and tips for planning activities and promoting a polio-free world . Inspire others to join us by hosting virtual and community events\, cre ating fundraisers\, and sharing posts on social media. Register your club ’s participation in World Polio Day to show how Rotary\, Rotaract\, and I nteract clubs around the world are taking action to eradicate polio.
