MP Jane Hunt Celebrating Rotary's 'monumental contribution' to eradicating Polio

Rotary members, volunteers and supporters around the world have raised over $2 billion in the global fight to eradicate the disease, which has helped to immunise and protect over 2.5 billion children around the world

The address was raised by Loughborough MP Jane Hunt, who recognised the contribution of Loughborough Beacon Rotary, and of all Rotarians around the world

Prime Minster Boris Johnson described it as "a fine example of the philanthropy and spirit of the British people"

Haddenham Rotary have actively supported the global 'End Polio Now' initiative since its inception and continue to do so

Following the news earlier this year that the WHO's Africa region is now wild polio-free, just two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan, remain polio-endemic

After over three decades of work and collaboration, ending polio forever remains Rotary's number one humanitarian goal
