For more than 35 years, Rotary and its members have been committed to fighting to eradicate polio across the world. The Purple4Polio activities are to help raise awareness for End Polio Now, Rotary's global campaign.

 

When a child receives their life-saving polio drops on mass polio immunisation days, their little finger is painted with a purple dye so it is clear they have received their polio vaccine.
