Working in partnership with nongovernmental organisations and national governments thorough its PolioPlus program, Rotary is the largest private-sector contributor to the global polio eradication campaign and has contributed more than US$600 million in 122 countries. Rotarians have mobilised hundreds of thousands of PolioPlus volunteers and have immunised more than one billion children worldwide.
