The Rotary Foundation
Rotary International helps people across the world through programmes such as the Rotary Foundation, which among many other things provides scholarships for young people to study in other countries. The Foundation is also leading Polio Plus, a 30-year campaign started in 1985 in partnership with international and national bodies with the aim of totally eliminating the scourge of polio. Over 75 million children and adults at risk were immunised on a single day as part of the Polio Plus campaign.
