Enjoy breakfast and fight polio

Every year Rotary Club Potgietersrus hosts its Polio Breakfast where all the money raised goes entirely to Rotary International’s worldwide polio eradication project. Using its network of Rotary Clubs in more than 160 countries Rotary International raises funds in collaboration with international business, governments and other institutions for the distribution of polio vaccine.
Nigeria is the only polio endemic country in Africa and one of only three remaining countries (the others are Afghanistan and Pakistan) that have not been able to stop the transmission of the disease, according to the World Health Organization.
Failure to end polio in these countries would put all other countries are at risk. This contagious disease can be imported, paralyzing children in countries that thought they were done with polio. A recent outbreak in the Horn of Africa serves as a reminder.
Thanks to a worldwide effort of governments and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, including the United Nations, the number of polio cases has dropped from 350,000 a year in 1988 to just 223 last year, and the number of countries where polio is transmitted has dropped from 125 to 3, according to the eradication initiative.
