Helping people abroad
The Club's foreign conscience - here immunising under-fives in India against Polio.
There is no cure for Polio but it is preventable with a vaccine.
Only two countries now remain endemic.
We’ve reduced cases by 99.9% since 1988
We work all year round with our international partner clubs and undertake projects abroad to fulfil The Rotary Foundation's (our own Charity's) motto: "To do Good in the World".
