Because of our generous donors around the world, The Rotary Foundation has raised more than $10 million dollars to provide food, medicine, clothing and shelter for the people forced to leave their homes in #Ukraine.
Some 20 million people are walking today who would have been paralyzed if not for the polio program’s efforts to deliver 💉 vaccines to children around the world. BUT there is still work to be done. Now is the time to #EndPolio and avoid reversing the progress we’ve made.
The Russian Federation has violated human rights and international humanitarian law. Join me & @Rotary in calling for an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of Russian forces. We must help those forced to flee their homes. #RotaryResponds#Ukraine
When @Rotary formed PolioPlus 1985 to #EndPolio, polio paralyzed 1,000+ children every single day in 125 polio-endemic countries. Because #VaccinesWork, just 2 countries remain wild polio-endemic. See 2022 case counts: https://t.co/ezoC6TA7JB
