Foundation Minute
District 5970 Foundation Chair, Don Meyer reveals that a total of $48,275 has been donated to PolioPlus by the district, as its contribution toward eradicating the disease from the planet.
August 21, 2019, marked the third year in a row that Nigeria, one of the world’s three endemic countries, remained wild poliovirus-free, justifying the $268 million spent by Rotary International to fight the dreadful disease in the sub-Saharan country. The chairperson of PolioPlus for Rotary International in Nigeria, Dr. Tunji Funsho, acknowledged the efforts of over 20,000 community mobilizers within Nigeria, who risked lives and donated time to help Rotary International achieve what used to be an almost inconceivable picture: a polio-free Africa by 2020. “That is not to say we’re going to take our eyes off the ball in Nigeria, because we still have quite a huge gap in immunization coverage.”
While Nigeria is cautiously celebrating its almost new status as a polio-free country, Brazil is struggling to increase its dangerously low vaccination rates. To combat this, the Brazilian government has embarked on “End Polio Now,” a massive campaign aimed at vaccinating more than 11 million children in over 300 cities against diseases such as influenza, measles and polio. The 5-week campaign ending in September hopes to vaccinate at least 95% of children between the ages of 1 and 5year-old.
Ensuring that children over the globe have access to three square meals a day, the Rotary Club of Ankeny, District 6000, participated in the Meals from the Heartland’s 12th Annual Hunger Fight, at the HyVee Hall in Des Moines, Iowa. The main goal of Hunger Fight is to package over 4 million meals in 4 days. The one-day effort resulted in 1 million packaged meals.

Post-Polio Africa If the WHO African Region is certified wild polio-free next year, then wild Polio will officially be gone from five of six WHO regions - leaving only the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
