We care for every child

We care for every child on this planet earth. Rotary started with this mission way back in 1979 when polio immunisation efforts were taken up by Rotary in Philippines.  Now with collective efforts of WHO, UNICEF, CDCC and Rotary, with the governments of almost every country around the world, we have got rid of polio...almost.  "But almost is not enough," reiterates Past Rotary International President Rajendra K. Saboo.  "We have to make sure that every child on this planet earth is protected against polio," he adds.


The India-Nigeria Polio Surgeries mission is to reach out to the parents in Nigeria so that they keep their child safe from the scourge of polio.  There are numerous polio-afflicted people in Nigeria. The polio-corrective surgery would help a few of them.  But every parent can ensure that polio does not afflict the future generation.
