Polio: Prime Minister thanks Rotary

Rotary was recognized in front of all of the media attending the funding announcement in for the Global Polio Eradication Project during the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Perth, WA, in October.

Australian Prime Minister Ms Julia Gillard said she wanted "to acknowledge the efforts of Rotary in what has been a long-standing global initiative for change, and I'd like to remind everyone in this room that change is possible."

Canada's Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, told the media that Rotary International first began the campaign that would lead to the 1988 WHO resolution to eradicate polio.

"Poliomyelitis was still a devastating disease all over the world, crippling those it touched for life. Then ... more than 350,000 people in 125 countries, mostly children, were infected."

The $50 million contribution from the Australian Government was secured in partnership with the Global Poverty Project, a new and dynamic advocacy group based in Australia. They worked with Rotarians in the Rotary Club of Crawley, among others, in successfully advocating to the Australian government.
